My Sunrun Solar Story "Creating a sustainable planet is both our greatest societal challenge and our greatest durable economic opportunity. I decided to focus on solar when I was flying back from a trip in Asia and I saw the massive impact coal and pollution was having on our environment. I wanted to do something at scale to help us use our resources more efficiently to support global growth. When Ed and I met in graduate school and eventually decided to co-found Sunrun, 100% of people told us it was a mistake and that I was crazy to leave my job in private equity. But I believed in the possibility to power our entire world with the sun and wanted to build a community to do it. We believed that solar could best be used in the hands of the people, establishing a cleaner, more affordable and more resilient energy future." Edward Fenster Co-Executive Chair Ed co-founded Sunrun to make solar affordable for American families. He oversees capital raising and legislative and regulatory affairs. Under his leadership, Sunrun has enjoyed uninterrupted access to project finance throughout its history. Ed has worked to shape public and industry policy with the goal of building a sustainable solar industry. Before Sunrun, Ed served as Director of Corporate Development at Asurion Corporation. He also worked at The Blackstone Group, completing more than $10 billion in private equity and M&A transactions. Ed is a 2010 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award winner with Lynn Jurich, a member of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, and serves as an Advisory Partner to Millennium Technology Value Partners. Disrupting the energy industry comes naturally to Ed - when Ed's preschool teacher asked him what his favorite thing was, he replied, "Electricity!" My Sunrun Solar Story "I’ve been interested in energy my entire life, and I decided to focus on solar when I was in graduate school and met Lynn. We discovered we were both passionate about the environment, and finding unique solutions to complex problems. I saw an opportunity to bring new financial structures to the energy sector. We decided to start Sunrun with a disruptive business model; providing clean energy to homeowners without requiring them to purchase their own solar panels. We believed we could change a polluting, antiquated energy system into one that is local, responsive, and powered directly for and by consumers." Tom vonReichbauer Chief Financial Officer Tom is responsible for the overall finance, accounting, and technology activities of the company and focuses on developing and executing strategies to grow Sunrun’s long-term value and competitiveness.

My Sunrun Solar Story "I've been drawn to solar energy and policy since I studied resource economics in college. As climate challenges became more and more real, and I saw the need first hand (while serving as a state utility regulator) for more effective distributed solar advocacy, I jumped at the opportunity to lead Sunrun's Policy team. I am convinced that we need to empower people to be the solution to a cleaner and sustainable environment -- and Sunrun provides a way for people to take action and responsibility. Now that Sunrun is the national leader in residential solar plus storage, our opportunity to make a difference is incredible-- I couldn't ask for a better or more meaningful professional challenge."
