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.
