Sunrun, founded in 2007, is America's leading residential solar and battery storage company. It provides homeowners with solar energy systems for little to no money down, with customers paying only for the clean energy their systems produce. The company's model is vertically integrated, maintaining control over the customer experience from installation to service.
The company's scale is significant, having served nearly 800,000 customers and deployed 5.7 gigawatts of clean energy capacity. Its product offerings include residential solar systems and battery storage, the latter providing backup power during outages and supporting the grid during peak demand.
A major development in the company's history was the 2020 acquisition of Vivint Solar, backed by $3.2 billion in funding. Sunrun operates within the residential solar, energy storage, and clean energy sectors, driven by a vision for a decentralized energy future.
