Company profile
researched Aug 2026Sunrun is a residential solar and battery storage provider that designs, installs and services home energy systems for homeowners in the United States. The company positions itself as the largest home solar and storage provider in the country and reports more than one million homes served. Offerings combine solar panels, battery storage (including add-on batteries for customers who already have a Sunrun system) and an equipment guarantee, with installation handled by the company.
Customers choose among plans such as the Sunrun Subscription Plan, which bundles panels and storage with fixed monthly payments, and BrightSave Monthly, under which rebates and tax credits are passed through as a lower monthly cost rather than requiring large upfront outlays. A mobile app allows customers to monitor system performance, pay bills and access live chat support, and a service transfer process and portal handle reassignment of lease agreements when a home is sold. Eligibility is limited to homeowners, and available state and utility incentives such as tax credits, net metering and utility rebates vary by location.
Add-on battery storage was available in California, Florida, Maryland, Nevada, New York (PSEG Long Island), Texas (Oncor and CenterPoint territories), Hawaii and Illinois (ComEd), with the company stating availability was expanding. Sunrun also maintains obligations related to former Vivint Solar customers in California following a stipulated final judgment in a California state court case, under which affected consumers may submit restitution claims before March 6, 2030.
Business model
Sunrun sells and installs residential solar and battery systems and offers them under multiple ownership and payment structures, including a subscription plan with predictable, rate-locked monthly payments, little-to-no money down options, no-debt options, and outright purchase, alongside a lease that can be transferred to a subsequent homeowner when a customer sells the house. Service revenue components include ongoing monitoring, maintenance and repair under the Sunrun Guarantee program, plus a companion mobile app used for performance tracking and bill payment.
Revenue comes from residential solar and battery systems sold or financed through monthly subscription and lease plans with locked-in rates, as well as direct system purchases; leases are transferable to new homeowners, and service, monitoring and maintenance are provided under the company's guarantee program.
Traction
Sunrun reports more than one million homes with installed systems and states it was added to the Fortune 1000 2026 list following revenue growth.
