Catch some rays: Solar partners Lowe’s and Sunrun

Sunrun, a provider of clean energy as a subscription service, announced a partnership with Lowe’s to provide households with solar and storage services.

“We are excited to offer Lowe’s shoppers a clean, affordable way to power their homes, one that provides energy independence and resilience against climate events and rising utility costs,” said Mary Powell, CEO at Sunrun.

The partnership makes renewable energy more accessible and affordable to homes across the nation by leveraging Sunrun’s solar service subscription model, which, the company said, eliminates financial barriers and upfront costs for millions of customers.

“Having a strong presence in Lowe’s stores provides an enjoyable and comfortable environment where homeowners can have discussions about transitioning to a more modern way of powering a clean energy lifestyle,” said Powell.

The San Francisco-based solar service firm will set up shop inside hundreds of Lowe’s stores across the U.S.

“Our customers rely on Lowe’s to introduce innovative products and services that truly improve homes and lives while providing the best value and service,” said Ram Krishnamurthy, senior vice president of home services at Lowe’s.

“Sunrun matches our mission perfectly as homeowners look to lower their power bills, consume cleaner energy, and use at-home batteries to safeguard against power outages,” said Krishnamurthy.
