Sunrun (RUN) Takes the Lead as the First Clean Energy Company to Exceed 1M Residential Solar Customers

A leading provider of clean energy as a subscription service is positioning itself to become one of the nation’s largest distributed power providers as Sunrun (RUN) announced it has surpassed 1M residential customers. The PRISM New Energy Index company who provides the residential clean energy systems now accounts for one in every five homes with solar systems installed in the country.

Sunrun revolutionized the solar industry in 2007 with its solar as a subscription service, making home solar affordable and accessible to families without any upfront costs. Subscription customers benefit from a predictable energy price and peace of mind, backed by 24/7 system monitoring, maintenance and repairs, and a solar performance guarantee.

Since 2007, Sunrun home energy systems have generated more than 37 billion kilowatt hours of solar energy and saved customers approximately $1.3Bn in energy costs. Sunrun customers’ systems have helped avoid an estimated 18M metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions—the equivalent of taking 4.3M gasoline-powered vehicles off the roads or 48 gas-fired power plants offline for a year
