This comes after Sunrun expected a 15% increase in installations this year over 2019.

To continue installations, Sunrun has accelerated various operational initiatives to provide a “nearly contact-free” installation service. https://vaulttree.amebaownd.com/posts/22843136. Through online permitting and drone surveys, the company expects to continue to install solar systems in most markets while protecting employees and customers. Sunrun’s entire salesforce is completing sales consultations virtually. The company has paused sourcing leads through certain channels, but Sunrun states it has seen more digital leads in recent weeks.

Sunrun is taking the stance that even if the country enters an economic downturn, homeowners will still want solar and storage.

“As more people are working from home and quarantining with their families, they will be using and relying on more daytime energy than they did previously,” the company said in a statement. “In California, households are using as much as 20% more electricity in their homes than normal. Home solar and batteries can offer more certainty during uncertain times, greater financial value, and more protection for families when they need it most.”
