Investor presentation summary
13 Aug, 2026Strategic positioning and market opportunity
Holds leading market share in residential solar with 18% of installations and 47% of subscription volumes, serving over 1.2 million customers and operating 8.7 GW of networked solar capacity and 4.6 GWh of storage as of June 2026.
Residential solar and storage market remains underpenetrated, with only ~6% of US homes having solar and less than 1% with battery storage, presenting significant growth potential.
Utility electricity prices have risen 35% nationwide over five years, while solar and battery costs have declined by over 90% and 89% respectively, enhancing the value proposition for consumers.
Distributed solar and storage systems offer grid resiliency, cost savings, and environmental benefits, with Sunrun’s network positioned to deliver virtual power plant services and support grid decentralization.
Strategic partnerships and a consortium with Tesla and Renew Home target emerging opportunities in data center offtake and AI-driven electricity demand.
Financial performance and outlook

Net Subscriber Value per addition decreased to $9,444 in 2Q26 due to higher upfront spend and lower fixed cost leverage, despite larger system sizes and higher storage attachment rates.
