Sunrun (NASDAQ:RUN) (NASDAQ: RUN) is a leading provider of residential solar energy systems and energy storage solutions in the United States. The company specializes in solar-as-a-service models, offering homeowners the opportunity to install photovoltaic panels on their properties under lease or power purchase agreement (PPA) structures. In addition to solar installations, Sunrun provides integrated battery storage systems designed to optimize solar self-consumption, deliver backup power during outages and offer demand-response capabilities.
Sunrun’s product portfolio includes solar panels sourced from Tier 1 manufacturers, proprietary Sunrun Brightbox battery storage systems and energy management software that enables customers to monitor generation and consumption in real time. Installation and ongoing maintenance are handled by Sunrun’s network of certified installers, ensuring system performance and customer support throughout the life of the agreement. The company also offers a direct-purchase option for customers who prefer to own their solar assets outright.
Founded in 2007 by industry veterans Lynn Jurich, Nat Kreamer and Edward Fenster, Sunrun has grown through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. The 2020 merger with Vivint Solar significantly broadened its national footprint and customer base, making it one of the largest residential solar companies in North America. Headquartered in San Francisco, Sunrun serves homeowners across 23 U.S. states and Puerto Rico, with a focus on markets offering supportive solar policies and incentives.
Under the leadership of CEO Mary Powell, Sunrun continues to advance its vision of a clean energy future by partnering with utilities, municipalities and technology providers. The company collaborates with grid operators to deliver virtual power plant services and demand-response solutions. Sunrun’s board and executive team draw on deep experience in energy, finance and technology to drive innovation, expand market reach and deliver long-term value for customers and stakeholders.
