Sunrun’s edge is in integrated systems, where it can sell financing, installation, and battery services together, not in component resale. That matters because the U.S. solar market is still scaling, with 2024 utility-scale installs up 33% year over year to 32.0 GW, which keeps hardware pricing under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"sub-highlight-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"\/cdn\/shop\/files\/GENERAL-Checkmark-Icon.svg\" alt=\"Icon\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRacking equipment sales\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sub-highlight-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRacking equipment sales fit Dogs because they are low-differentiation hardware and Sunrun Inc. does not get strong brand pull from them versus a full solar plus storage package.
