Sunrun Inc. (Nasdaq:RUN), the largest dedicated residential solar
company in the United States, today announced the renewal of a
national partnership with GRID Alternatives, the nation’s largest
nonprofit solar installer. The extension of this important
partnership builds on each company’s mission to expand clean,
affordable solar energy to more homeowners throughout the United
States.
“Building on a relationship that has been in place for more than
five years, we are thrilled to renew our partnership with GRID
Alternatives,” commented Paul Winnowski, Chief Operating Officer
for Sunrun. “Sharing the same values and mission is extremely
important to us here at Sunrun; together with GRID Alternatives, we
will continue our work providing low-income families with energy
generation and management in a clean, renewable and sustainable
way.”
Sunrun will support GRID Alternatives through a cash donation of
$150,000 and employee volunteerism on projects throughout the
country. The donation will support solar for low-income families,
as well as hands-on job training to help people access careers in
the fast-growing solar industry.
“Getting solar power to the families that need it most is a real
community effort,” said Erica Mackie, CEO and co-founder of GRID
Alternatives. “From employee volunteers who get on the roof with us
to ongoing financial support for our work, Sunrun has been a great
partner in making this happen.”
Sunrun employees have volunteered nearly 3,500 hours through
this partnership to-date, installing more than 220 kWh on nearly 30
homes for a total of $1.7 million lifetime savings for GRID
