About Sunrun

Sunrun is a United States-based provider of residential solar electricity and solar power services for homeowners.

Sunrun operates in twelve states that include Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and Connecticut. Each business day, it puts 2 million U.S. dollars’ worth of solar onto people’s roofs and facilitates one solar installation every 10 minutes.
