How It Work
This section should be removed from the article as it looks more or less promotional. Apart from that, "how a company work or do their business" is not an encyclopedic topic unless it is totally unique.

Controversy sections
I removed the "controversy" sections which appeared to be non-neutral "hatchet jobs" attributed to blogs or unreliable sources. These seem to have been added by  on his first two edits to Wikipedia. My action here was taken after somebody from the company pointed out this situation. I am not affiliated with the company, nor employed by them in any way. Companies should not use Wikipedia for promotion, but equally important, adversaries of companies may not use Wikipedia to attack reputations. Jehochman Talk 23:27, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed changes to Sunrun Wikipedia article
I'm Christa Keizer, a member of the brand team at Sunrun. I'm here to contribute factual information about Sunrun to improve the quality of the page. I'm aware of Wikipedia's suggestions for conflict of interest compliance (WP:SCOIC) and will fully abide by them.

The first update I recommend is to our executive team structure. Lynn Jurich is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sunrun. Edward Fenster is the Chairman of Sunrun.

I recommend adding that Sunrun pioneered leasing solar to residential homes.

Sunrun now operates in Nevada, in addition to the 11 states mentioned in this article.

While the company still works with its partner network to install on homes, Sunrun expanded its services to include installations after acquiring the residential solar division of REC Solar in February 2014.

Sungevity is no longer considered a competitor to Sunrun after an alliance was announced in March 2014.

Request edit on 21 March 2017
Hello, Sunrun is looking to update it's Wiki page with updated location, history, product, and partnership information. This page has not been updated in over 3 years. I am the marketing manager here at Sunrun, so I have a COI, which I have stated in my User Talk page. The information below has been run through our legal and policy department for accuracy. Since this is such a large update and this is my first wikipedia revision, I'd like to discuss the proposed changes below.KenDW64 (talk) 18:44, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

Sunrun Inc. (Nasdaq:RUN) is the largest dedicated residential solar electricity company in the United States with a mission to create a “Planet Run by the Sun.” Since establishing the “solar as a service” model in 2007, Sunrun continues to lead the industry in providing clean energy to homeowners at a savings to traditional electricity. The company designs, installs, finances, insures, monitors and maintains the solar energy system on a homeowner's roof, while families receive predictable pricing for typically 20 years.

With more than 130,000 customers across the country, Sunrun is in its 10th year of operation and employs approximately 3,020 employees as of December 31, 2016.

Sunrun raised more than $300 million in venture capital from Accel Partners, Sequoia Capital, Foundation Capital, and Madrone Capital Partners. Sunrun went public on the NASDAQ on August 5, 2015, under the symbol (NASDAQ: RUN) at a price of $14 per share, for an initial market capitalization of $1.36 billion. In 2015, Sunrun launched its residential energy storage system, BrightBox™, in the state of Hawaii. The product offering expanded to the state of California in December of 2016, with plans to expand to additional markets in 2017. In January 2017, Sunrun announced a strategic partnership with National Grid PLC (LSE:NG) (NYSE:NGG), one of the largest international investor-owned utilities. The partnership includes a national collaborative grid services pilot and a $100 million direct investment by National Gridin a partnership that will own approximately 200 MW of Sunrun solar energy systems across the U.S.  The strategic partnership also includes a joint marketing agreement that will initially target approximately 100,000 single family homes in downstate New York.

Megawatts/Usage As of December 31, 2016, Sunrun has installed 879 MW, with over 3.4 million installed solar panels producing over 2,000 gWh. Since inception through March 6, 2017, we have raised tax equity investment funds to finance the previous and future installation of solar energy systems with an estimated value of $5.2 billion from investors including U.S. Bancorp, J.P. Morgan and Credit Suisse.

Sunrun owns the system and monitors, maintains, insures, and guarantees production for 20 years. The customer pays Sunrun a monthly amount that is lower than what they would pay their utility. [m] BrightSave Prepaid- Customers pre-pay for 20 years of energy with one upfront payment. Sunrun owns the system and monitors, maintains, insures, and guarantees production for 20 years. Because Sunrun claims the ITC on their behalf, the customer pays less than they would for a system that they purchase to own.[n] BrightBuy- Customers to own their solar system with one upfront payment. The customer takes full advantage of the Federal ITC and has no monthly solar payments. [o] BrightAdvantage- Customers to own their solar system with no money down by financing it with an unsecured loan.

 * Thanks, kind of better sourcing this time. By "in line citations" I mean like this:


 * Sunrun was founded in 2007. By 2010 it had raised around $175 million in venture capital from Accel Partners, Sequoia Capital, and Foundation Capital.


 * I am not going to do your formatting - please do this. I provided the Help link above; I provided some more simple instructions on your Talk page.
 * Also, please do not suggest any content that is not supported by a reliable (ideally independent) source.  No one will implement it.
 * Please do not stick a citation next to content that is not supported by that citation as you did with "Sunrun raised more than $300 million in venture capital from Accel Partners, Sequoia Capital, Foundation Capital, and Madrone Capital Partners. [b]"  That ref says that Sunrun had raised only $175M from VC as of the date of the ref, and in addition, that ref does not mention Madrone Capital Partners.  If you keep doing this I will just stop responding to you, and others will be unlikely to want to risk their time reviewing your suggestions.
 * Also, no one is going to implement marketing copy. If you want your suggestions to be accepted, the content has to be neutrally written, which means, accurately summarizing what reliable, independent sources say.  The proposed lead is not acceptable as written.
 * And don't write "we". This is not Sunrun's website.

WSJ article
Hello Jytdog, I was hoping we could discuss the unbalanced controversy section that was added recently. Sunrun is comfortable leaving this section, but to make it more balanced we would like to add a response from Lynn Jurich, the CEO, that was in Bloomberg at the end. But, to discuss let's take it point by point.

"As of May 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating Sunrun. The SEC is looking into whether Sunrun and other solar companies adequately disclosed canceled contracts. It subpoenaed Sunrun. " For all of the above, the Wall Street Journal reported this, but there has been no corroboration. So it shouldn't be stated as fact, it should be attributed to the WSJ if it is used.

"The Wall Street Journal reported on May 3, 2017 that "Some customers say they canceled contracts after being strong-armed into solar-energy deals" and there have been hundreds of complaints to state attorneys general.[12]" The article does not attribute "strong arming" to Sunrun, it attributes it to the industry vaguely. Similarly, the statements about complaints to state AG's can't be about Sunrun, since she lists four states where they occurred and three (TX, OR, FL) are places Sunrun wasn't operating at the time the article was printed. The article further doesn't say any of those complaints relate to Sunrun. Presenting this as if it relates to Sunrun specifically is likely libel. That is the clear inference in how it was added to the wiki page. As such, it has no reason to be in Sunrun's wikipedia page, it should be in an industry page or nowhere at all.

"The SEC is involved because "investors use that cancellation metric as one way to gauge the companies’ health."[12]" This is an assertion by the journalist with no source or backup. By contrast, equity analysts that cover Sunrun for investors had the following to say about the news article after it broke:

Joseph Osha, JMP: "It suggests that there’s a cancellation number that we monitor, which we do not,” Joseph Osha, an analyst at JMP Securities in San Francisco, said Wednesday. “It doesn’t matter that much..." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-03/sunrun-falls-on-report-of-sec-inquiry-into-solar-cancellations

Let's discuss these first, and then we can discuss including the response to this article featured in Bloomberg News. Thank you for your time.KenDW64 (talk) 18:09, 23 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks for talking.  I simplified it.  I urge you to be careful with the regard to the WP:NLT policy and please do keep in mind that everything you write in WP is public, and is preserved forever. Jytdog (talk) 19:19, 23 May 2017 (UTC)


 * The SEC has not commented that there is an investigation; In each of her two stories, she says the SEC didn't comment. That's their practice in all cases. So there is no confirmation of any investigation as the entry originally implied. Sunrun has also not said there is an investigation.  In fact, in Sunrun's 10Q that was just filed, there is no mention of an investigation. Sunrun has a general policy of saying that they cooperate with all investigations and don't comment on them, whether or not they are ongoing. She also says in both her articles that Solarcity is under investigation.  Solarcity on a call with all its wall street equity analysts said they are not, although they haven't made any comments to news outlets on the topic, probably because they generally share our perspective on setting precedent about such statements.  So that further undermines the author's credibility. Let me know if that answers your question on the first point before we move on to the second. Thank you. KenDW64 (talk) 19:35, 23 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Wanted to add one more thing to answer your question. As a further example of why it needs attribution to WSJ, look at how Bloomberg reported it (emphasis added): The SEC issued a subpoena to Sunrun and is looking into “the adequacy of its disclosures on account cancellations,” according to the Journal report. The SEC is also investigating Tesla Inc.’s SolarCity unit, according to the article. SEC spokeswoman Judy Burns declined to comment. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-03/sunrun-falls-on-report-of-sec-inquiry-into-solar-cancellationsKenDW64 (talk) 19:38, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Please review the current content before you write more. thx Jytdog (talk) 19:52, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * This will work, if we can add the Bloomberg response to the WSJ after to stat "However, Wall Street equity analysts disagree. Joseph Osha, an analyst at JMP Securities who follows Sunrun, told Bloomberg News that the WSJ article "suggests that there’s a cancellation number that we monitor, which we do not.”


 * -- KenDW64 (talk) 20:11, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * The Bloomberg reporter made it clear that only some analysts think that way (the article says "Some investors aren’t looking at canceled deals.") And no, Wikipedia will not give UNDUE weight to that perspective.  And please be more  careful when quoting sources in the future. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 20:37, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

Request edit on 23 May 2017
Request to discuss revising intro and locations section. The cited press release announcing Sunrun's expansion in to Wisconsin mentions everything in this lead paragraph. Also, please advise on the best way to cite sources for locations operated in if linking to the locations site is not sufficient. Sunrun Inc. (Nasdaq:RUN) is the largest residential solar electricity company in the United States. The company’s motto is “Creating a Planet Run by the Sun”. Sunrun was the first to create and implement the “solar as a service” financing model to homeowners. Sunrun Inc is engaged in the design, development, installation, sale, ownership and maintenance of residential solar energy systems (Projects) in the United States. The Company is engaged in providing solar energy services and products to its customers. As of December 31, 2016, it operated a fleet of residential solar energy systems in the United States, with approximately 134,000 customers across 17 states, as well as the District of Columbia.

Headquartered in San Francisco, California, the company operates in 18 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.

 * I took a bunch of time and explained how Wikipedia works on your Talk page.  You need to present proposals that are encyclopedic in content and tone and independently sourced, and everything in the proposed content needs to actually be supported by the sources cited.  This is scholarly work not public relations.  You also need to take the time to format your own citations.   If you don't know what an encyclopedia article sounds like in tone, please spend some reading Britannica.  Thanks for pointing out that people from Solar City have tried to hijack their Wikipedia page as well.  You people waste so much of our time.  Best regards Jytdog (talk) 22:33, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * This is a third party source. What in there is not verifiable? KenDW64 (talk) 22:41, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * What happens now, is that I just stop responding. Jytdog (talk) 23:13, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Two of the three co-founders were incorrectly removed, leaving just one co-founder who hasn't been with the company in years. The Forbes article I have cited is likely more "scholarly" than what was currently used to remove two of the three founders and CEO. The correct version should read "Sunrun was co-founded in January 2007 by Lynn Jurich, Ed Fenster, and Nat Kreamer with a business model in which it offers customers either a lease or a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) business model whereby homeowners pay for electricity usage but do not buy solar panels outright, reducing the initial capital outlay required by the homeowner. "KenDW64 (talk) 19:53, 24 May 2017 (UTC)


 * this was you, correct? Jytdog (talk) 20:00, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * As it relates to the edit in discussion, if you're asking if I removed two of the three co-founders and replaced with what is currently there then no, that was not me.

KenDW64 (talk) 20:07, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * So, to clarify, you're not going to add back the current CEO Lynn Jurich, and Ed Fenster as original co-founders along with Nat Kreamer as cited in the Forbes magazine article? Even though they are listed on the right hand side of the page in the information box?KenDW64 (talk) 20:26, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * That is a good source for that, sure I will add that. I asked if you made this edit, or if that was made at your behest.  Was it? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 21:03, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding, much appreciated. As for that particular edit, no, but as it relates to that section I did previously ask your recommendation for the best way to cite the states that Sunrun operates in since we cannot link to the Sunrun website. Articles and Press Releases typically get the number of states wrong, such as the WSJ article did. A location section used to appear on this page but was removed entirely, and with Sunrun recently expanding to Wisconsin and Vermont I'm guessing someone likely tried adding that new information with that particular article.KenDW64 (talk) 21:25, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

It appears the last sentence about contract cancellations is from an unnamed and unverified source. Not factual information and should be removed until verified or confirmed sources can be cited. 74.82.132.67 (talk) 20:36, 20 June 2017 (UTC) 74.82.132.67 (talk) 20:36, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

 * This is missing the essential "SunRun said".  The PR full court press is really on here.  The company makes a press release/earnings report and here you are asking us to add it to the article.  This is not SunRun's website and we are not going to recount the blow-by-blow ups and downs (well, i am sure you will not come here and ask us to post anything about "downs").  This is an encyclopedia. Jytdog (talk) 16:25, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

You're a great help. What's up with the formatting on the top of the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by KenDW64 (talk • contribs) 17:32, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
