Listen to Part 1: Origins here.Audio Source: https://www.sunrun.com/quick-reads-from-ceo/masters-of-scale-podcast-sunrun-ceo-lynn-jurichTranscript: https://mastersofscale.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/rapid-response-transcript-lynn-jurich.pdfSAFIAN: You mentioned climate change. With health concerns rising over the last year, itsometimes felt like climate's become, I don't want to say a secondary priority, but it's beenpushed down. Sustainability now certainly includes health in a way that maybe it didn't a yearago. What do you think the long term implications of that will be?JURICH: I think that we're seeing more impact from extreme weather than maybe thequestion appreciates. If you think about California as an example, with people at home,working from home, schooling at home, and the fact that the power is getting turned offbecause of fire risk, that is a very visceral experience for people, and we'll see more ofthis.Puerto Rico is another example where the energy system is just frail. I think 70% of theenergy assets are old, and extreme weather is only making it worse. So I do believe thatit is and will increasingly become visceral for people. And back to that change formula, Ithink that dissatisfaction is, and that pain will drive awareness and attention to it.We're taking a different approach, which is, independent of your view on climate, we canoffer you a better lifestyle and meet carbon emission goals. If you look at the home,there are about four big choices you can make around energy that lead to your carbonfootprint: your car, how you power your home, your heating, and your cooking. Anelectric vehicle is less expensive. An induction stove is superior. An electric hot waterheater can save you money, and solar saves you money. So if you look at what we cancreate for a household, it's an average of $1,000 to $2,000 of savings. So you don't haveto be a climate warrior to adopt these products.The challenge is really social and political and financing, because many of these greenassets, they're more expensive upfront, but they're less costly over time. And that wasthe innovation of starting Sunrun was we saw solar as a technology that would clearly bethe future.What was so breakthrough about solar is that it can be distributed. You can site it locallywhere the power is actually going to be used. In the U.S., two-thirds of your power bill istransmission and distribution. From a first principle standpoint, if you're able to useexisting infrastructure and put the solar on there, it will be a more affordable solution. Wejust needed to eliminate the upfront cost, and so we invented the business model ofsolar as a service where we paid to install the solar system and the homeowner justbuys the electricity, just like they would from the utility, only it's cheaper and it's green.When we think about climate, we don't think it needs to be this ethereal thing. It's abouteveryday savings, a better lifestyle, and job creation.SAFIAN: Now, when you describe all that, it raises the question of why residential solar isn'tmore ubiquitous. It's still a small proportion of residential homes have solar. So what is thatabout?JURICH: First, because this is called Masters of Scale, I'll throw out a few scale facts foryou all, so one, we already have 500,000 customers, just Sunrun, and we've raisedcapital to install about nine billion dollars worth of solar. Sunrun is the second largestowner of solar in the U.S. behind NextEra, the huge utility. Residential does have scalenow and will increase.If you look at a market like Hawaii, where the value proposition was strongest first, it'sabout 30 to 35% of households have solar power. California is about 12%, the rest of thecountry is about 1 to 2%. It will all get there. The amount of power you can get off of arooftop with solar would serve 75% of California's energy needs, it would serve 40% ofthe U.S. energy needs, so it is a scale technology. What's holding us back is inertia. It'swhy do I want to do it now? 90% of Americans are in favor of solar. The interest is there.It's just the challenge of friction in the process.SAFIAN: So I have to ask you, your biggest competitor is Tesla, which took over SolarCity a while back. What's it like to compete against Elon Musk?JURICH: Well, you never underestimate him, that's for sure. I think we're still in theadoption phase where a rising tide lifts all boats. So I'm very pleased with their brandbeing well-known, well-liked because it just increases the awareness of solar energy. Aswe mentioned, it's only 1, 2% penetrated right now, so that'll help lift us. Recently when Ilooked at the data in the markets where we're both competing, we have a higher closerate, effectively. Again, it's this normalization of solar that's a benefit. It's the awareness,it's the trust in their brand, and I aspire to, over the years, have the Sunrun brand bebetter known in terms of turning your home into an electric energy asset.
Listen to Part 2: Growth hereLynn Jurich started her solar energy company in the depths of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, as a 26 year old with no prior experience in the industry. Now it is a $10b giant beating Elon Musk's SolarCity at its own game.Audio source: https://socapglobal.com/2019/02/ep-17-lynn-jurich-ceo-of-sunrun/ (5 mins in)TranscriptNina Bernardin: [00:00:00] What are some of the very first steps that you guys took? I mean, starting like a coffee company, I can like understand like basic elements of starting a coffee company, but starting a solar company...? Lynn Jurich: [00:00:12] Yeah. Well, so, so I used a lot of my analytical skills and experience to, to start to learn more quickly.And the first thing I did was look at a network of Stanford alumni who were in the energy industry and just started calling them and interviewing them and asking questions about, Hey, how viable is solar? Is it in your plan? I was talking to utility executives, anybody who would really take my phone call out of the Stanford alumni database and what I heard.Very clearly from everybody was, Oh, it'll never work. There's, yep. Solar's getting cheaper, it's getting better. But there's so many sophisticated people doing this that, be careful, implying that I wasn't sophisticated or that I was young and naive or inexperienced and energy.And that it wouldn't work, but I was 26 probably, but they validated to me that there was a business opportunity. It was just, the commentary was very much like, Oh no, but it's not for you. So that also kind of gets me going, gets me motivated a little bit. And so I did that. And then we started talking to potential customers.So some of the early customers that day w solar, where universities were, other public schools governments. Some businesses, some forward thinking businesses. So we just started calling customers, trying to understand what they wanted, what their needs were. And so it was really a lot of, I, because it's, it was a nascent industry, there wasn't a lot of research to do.It was very first person just kind of calling around anybody who would take your phone call. So that's really how we got started. so what we figured out fairly quickly was there's a lot of interest in solar, but there was a lot of complexity to it and there was a high upfront cost.And so the model that we came up with was, Hey, people will switch to this. If you can just make it easy. And if you can just turn it into a monthly bill, like what they're used to paying for energy. They'll adopt it. So we came up with a model where we would pay for the installation of the solar panels and just sign customers up to long-term contracts to buy the electricity for us.And there were some early subsidies for it. So we could actually, even though solar was fairly expensive 10 years ago, compared to where it is now we could sell electricity. Just for a slight premium versus what the utility company was selling it for, even with zero upfront cost for customers.But we had to get convinced consumers to sign up for a long-term contract, because the business model from Sunrun's perspective was we had to pay $50,000 to install a system on a homeowner's house. Upfront. So the only way to recover that over time, if you're only billing a customer $150 a month is to get them to sign a long-term contract.So we had to launch the business by convincing people, Hey, work with this startup sign a 20 year contract. That's what we are. And still today, our customers signed 20 year contracts. To buy the electricity for us. And and so we had to go out and convince a number of customers to do that, that as you might imagine, was quite expensive because that $50,000 a pop you're putting the cash out for that with these 20 year contracts, that you're going to get the money back over time, but you have to find a way to finance it.And so then we had to go to banks to, to figure out how we could pool enough of our home owners together. To go to a bank to say, Hey, can you give us a million or so dollars upfront? We're going to in return pledge you these, 200 homeowners their cash flows for the next 20 years. So it's a very, it was a financing model.And so what we had to do, which was in retrospect, quite risky, was spent all of our own money upfront buying all these systems. So we funded the company ourselves about $3 million. To get started, which was, as you might imagine, a lot of our savings and didn't pay ourselves for quite a long time. And and then we're able to go out and raise capital from people that we had worked with before venture capitalist.So we raised $7 million from venture capital firms. But still we were spending all of that equity capital to buy these projects. We did not have the project financing lined up. So we didn't have that bank financing lined up that was going to help us make the upfront cost, and pledge the customer cash flows to pay back the bank.So we had to make a bet that we could get enough consumers to do that. And that we could go to a bank and find someone to give us capital in order to make it a more sustainable business. And that was in 2007. And unfortunately right when we had spent millions and millions of dollars, the market crash and it was really.Quite stressed, quite stressful, quite horrible time. But we were able to finally convince a bank who was not as exposed to the subprime crisis that, we all remember from 2008 where they still had capital available to even invest. And we were able to convince us bank to give us $40 million which kept us going for, the next year through the crisis.And we developed track record and we prove that consumers wanted this, that people were paying their bills that, there was a deep market for this. And then from that point forward, we've been able to steadily attract the capital to finance the business. And now we're up to raising some more than $3 billion worth of that capital over the last 10 years.

Lynn Jurich has transformed the residential energy arena. She is a graduate of Stanford business school and created solar as a service. She founded Sunrun in 2007, and the accolades quickly followed: Top 10 Most Powerful Women Entrepreneurs by Fortune in 2009, Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young in 2010, Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business 2013, Forbes Top Women to Watch in 2015, and Top 40 under 40 by Fortune in 2018. Tune in as she talks about creating a company that is disrupting a trillion dollar industry, and how Sunrun is positioned to continue to grow!
Going head-to-head against Elon Musk and Tesla would be daunting enough. But for solar power company Sunrun's CEO Lynn Jurich, that's just the beginning. Expectations for solar are high under a Biden Administration, and Sunrun's stock price has quadrupled in the past year. Jurich faces not only the competitive specter of Tesla, but the complexities of a new-style energy utility and the vagaries of politics and policy in the most partisan environment in generations. Her touchstone – in a key lesson for entrepreneurs – is to focus on long-term trends that she believes are favorable. In the teeth of the pandemic, she spent $3 billion to buy up one of the other key industry players, doubling down on her commitment, and extending a scale-advantage over Tesla. From Sunrun's internal culture to the undulating energy marketplace, Jurich is both pivoting in search of opportunity and holding fast to central principles.

Before the fellas spoke about the storming of capital hill, they discussed relationships and how they see growth. Special guest- JuRich
Three juniors in the Bellisario College (Dan Howanetz, Jake Jurich and Dymand Mitchell), part of a group that we've been following with brief interviews and video updates since they arrived on campus as freshmen, sat down together for the first time in March.
Lynn Jurich is on a mission - to create a planet that’s powered by the sun. SunRun has helped over 200,000 people harness solar energy to power their homes. And she’s grown this solar-as-a-service model into a $3 billion enterprise, and the largest residential solar installer in the US. On this episode, we hear her story, how her leadership has developed and the impact she's making in the world.
This week on Watt It Takes: How Sunrun CEO Lynn Jurich convinced homeowners and banks to invest millions into third-party rooftop solar during the great recession.“Everybody said it won’t work. We took it as a challenge,” says Jurich. “And so we just went for it.”Sunrun was a pioneer in residential solar services. Unlike some of its fallen brethren pushing the national model, Sunrun grew at a much more sustainable clip. Today, the company is at the top of its game. Sunrun installed 100 megawatts of residential solar last quarter. It will likely install 5,000 residential batteries. It’s now partnering with utilities on using those batteries and rooftop systems as a virtual power plant. In this edition of Watt It Takes, Powerhouse CEO Emily Kirsch talks with Jurich about how she went from begging homeowners at county fairs to signing hundreds of thousands of customers.This podcast is brought to you by GE's Reservoir, a modular lithium-ion energy storage system that can slash construction costs by 50 percent.

Tom Jurich cites his motivation to do things right and see results as he leads athletic programs at the University of Louisville. Since 1997, Jurich has made a permanent mark at the University of Louisville by leading an athletic department that has enjoyed tremendous athletic and academic accomplishments. In 2003, Jurich began his run as vice president at U of L. Under Jurich, the Cardinal athletic teams have produced unparalleled success in multiple sports. Louisville’s 2012 – 2013 year marked the first time any university has ever won a BCS level bowl game, placed both its men’s and women’s basketball teams in the NCAA Final 4, and reached the baseball College World Series in the same season. CBS Sports ranked Cardinals Athletics among the top three nationally for the past three years. Jurich and his wife share U of L’s prestigious Hickman-Camp Award and he was named Louisville magazine’s Person of the Year in 2007. He resides in Louisville with his wife, Terrilynn. They have four children and several grandchildren.
Sunrun is now the largest standalone solar company in the U.S. And as a public company, it faces increased scrutiny of its solar services model from investors who are skeptical about residential solar conditions. After reporting solid quarterly numbers for the end of 2016, the company is now dealing with accusations that it hid customer cancelation rates. Executives aren't commenting on an SEC investigation into canceled contracts, but analysts believe it's a distraction from the real metrics used to value Sunrun. The company also says it is a distraction, and that the allegations are false. On stage at the Solar Summit, we talked about some of the immediate challenges -- investor sentiment, customer acquisition costs, and streamlining installations -- that Sunrun is grappling with. (Squared subscribers can watch every single session.) After that session, we whisked Jurich into a back room for a podcast interview about Sunrun's long-term outlook. We asked about the role of solar as a grid resource, the company's growing storage deployments, its new partnerships with utilities, and the evolution of customer choice. It offers a glimpse into her leadership style as the CEO of one of America's top solar companies. "We often get stuck in the short term noise, we often miss this bigger, massive structural shift that's happening," she said. Thanks to our launch sponsor, AES Energy Storage.
