Sunrun is America’s leading residential solar, battery storage, and energy services company. The company designs, installs, finances, insures, monitors, and maintains solar energy systems for homeowners, primarily through a solar-as-a-service model that allows customers to go solar with little to no upfront costs through leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs).
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in San Francisco, Sunrun pioneered the residential solar service model and has installed solar systems for hundreds of thousands of customers across the United States. The company also offers battery storage solutions, including partnerships with manufacturers like Tesla for their Powerwall systems, enabling homeowners to store excess solar energy for use during outages or peak pricing periods.
Trading under the ticker symbol RUN, Sunrun has grown through both organic expansion and acquisitions, including its 2020 acquisition of rival Vivint Solar. The company benefits from increasing consumer interest in clean energy, declining solar costs, and supportive government policies like tax credits. As climate concerns drive more homeowners toward renewable energy solutions, Sunrun continues to expand its market presence and service offerings in the residential solar sector.
