Solar Deal Would Create a New Industry Giant

Sunrun is acquiring Vivint in an all-stock deal, valued at $3.2 billion, leaving Tesla further behind as a provider of residential solar panels and batteries.

Excerpt from this New York Times story:

Sunrun, the nation’s largest residential solar company, says it is acquiring a leading competitor, Vivint Solar, to form one of the world’s largest providers of solar equipment.

If approved, the all-stock deal would create a company with about 500,000 customers, Sunrun said in a statement. Board members of both companies unanimously approved the deal, it said.

Sunrun said the deal had an enterprise value — that is, including the assumption of debt — of $3.2 billion.

“Vivint Solar adds an important and high-quality sales channel that enables our combined company to reach more households and raise awareness about the benefits of home solar and batteries,” Lynn Jurich, Sunrun’s chief executive and co-founder, said in the announcement Monday evening.

Sunrun, based in San Francisco, and Vivint, based in Lehi, Utah, have held two of the top three positions in the residential solar market along with Tesla. Sunrun, which was founded in 2007, overtook Tesla as the nation’s leading residential solar company in 2018. In addition to residential solar panels, Sunrun and Vivint sell residential battery systems.

While the renewable energy industry has weathered the coronavirus pandemic much better than oil and gas businesses, residential solar installations have dropped as many homeowners have cut spending and reduced interactions with other people. Analysts expect Sunrun’s revenue to dip by nearly 5 percent this year and Vivint’s revenue to increase by less than 5 percent, according to Bloomberg.

Finally ran my first Vancouver Sun Run and it was… an experience!! The Sun Run is a 10km road race with a field of about 40,000. I think it’s actually the largest 10k race in North America. A lot of companies sponsor teams (I ran for free for a company I definitely don’t work for…) and as a result the field is full of folks who don’t normally run, which is great because, like… cool, running is great, the more people out there enjoying the sport, the better IMO. But it also means the course is absolute chaos. There are corrals… but no one seeds themselves correctly. People stop abruptly in the middle of the road when you’re coming up fast behind them. They cut you off at corners. Groups of friends run 5+ abreast.. etc etc. It’s not a course you can race very effectively unless you start near the front of the pack. I ran 200m long (all dat weaving) and ended up with 50:07 on my Garmin. That’s a slowish 10k time for me, but I’m really not in shape, and my glute has been iffy this week, so I’m happy with the effort. Now for some recovery!

Sunrun results: my data

I have sunrun and I think you should see what my results are. Between 2020 and 2023 I think I paid about 12-14¢ per kilowatt. I do not have a battery, I sell my power to the grid for credits to get it later. My "battery" is the public community. Blackouts are not an issue in my area, especially not ones lasting longer than a few seconds once every few years.

I pay $95.00 per month*. No increase for 20 years.

*This year a new Illinois tax for leased equipment started so my payments for 2025 onward will be $102.60 but I'm not upset at Sunrun for this, this is unrelated to them completely.

Which means for the sun's power I paid 12.424¢

:( No savings :(

But! No CO² :)

I'll gather my electric bills to show what I was buying electricity for when there was no sun (like at night). I used to get my power from a nuclear company, then a wind company, then the nuclear company again, before I switched to just general ComEd.

Residential solar is becoming residential solar + storage + VPP

I chat with Sunrun CEO Mary Powell on the future of solar, the shift to a "clean energy lifestyle," and why the tech bros need to rethink th

Trump's election means that Washington DC is going to be useless for the next four years. Useless at best. Nothing important is going to get fixed if it has to get permission from the President of the United States. So ignore the President of the United States as much as you can and do what lots of other people were doing even before the election: saving the world ourselves.

You're going to hear this from me over and over again, in varying words, whenever I can give you a beautiful example like this one:

Dave Roberts, whose Volts podcast is the absolute premier source on zero-carbon electrification, interviewed the CEO of Sunrun, Mary Powell (transcript included at that link, if you'd rather read it) live on stage and, if this doesn't give you hope, I don't know what to offer you. She details all the progress her company has made, the progress her company is making, and the progress she's confident Sunrun can make in the next few years. And it is a lot of progress.

No matter how little help she gets from DC, which help Sunrun no longer needs. Not even if they try to stop her. Sunrun is ignoring Washington DC and getting on with saving the world, one solar plus battery system with built-in resilience and opt-out personal for-profit virtual power plant system for the price of your current energy bill or less per customer.
