Our History

Sunrun was founded by Ed Fenster and Lynn Jurich, who met as classmates at Stanford's Graduate School of Business. Both had strong finance and business experience, and after a summer working in China, Lynn realized that reducing pollution and stabilizing energy costs are some of the biggest challenges to the U.S. and to other countries. Both Lynn and Ed turned down offers to return to the finance industry, and focused all of their energy developing Sunrun, which launched its first residential solar financing plan in California in 2007.

Sunrun put its first home solar power system on the roof of Ed Fenster's home, which the company also used as its first office. Although Sunrun has long since relocated to business offices, it has kept its focus squarely on homeowners.

Sunrun has financing for approximately $1 billion in solar systems from investors including PG&E Corporation and U.S. Bancorp and $85 million in corporate equity capital from Sequoia Capital, Accel Partners, and Foundation Capital. Sunrun founders were also jointly named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2010.
