Podcasts about Sunrun

In this episode of Electric People, host Ty Williams sits down with Sunrun Chief Operating Officer Patrick Kent (PK) for a masterclass on navigating massive career growth and leading with operational excellence. Drawing on his 12-year journey from a frontline sales representative to the COO of the clean energy leader, PK shares his transformative philosophy of acting as a "referee" rather than a "judge and jury" by establishing clear, unwavering expectations. The conversation dives deep into his high-stakes overhaul of Sunrun's operations, breaking down how he rejected "false trade-offs" (lazy binary thinking), structured the business around four core pillars, and bridged the historical gap between sales and operations. PK also outlines his ruthless problem-solving framework—tearing complex challenges apart, prioritizing ruthlessly, and engineering rollouts so simple they are impossible to miss—offering essential blueprints for anyone striving to build a bulletproof professional foundation.

In this episode of Electric People, host Ty Williams sits down with Sunrun Senior Market Leader Ryan Wright to unpack his extraordinary transition from a top-tier global music executive to an elite operator in the clean energy sector. Ryan details his fascinating background orchestrating international marketing campaigns for legendary artists like Britney Spears, Beyoncé, and Justin Timberlake, alongside his time co-founding the disruptive record label AWAL, before pivoting his "rebel soul" mindset toward solar energy. The conversation explores the tactical precision behind Sunrun's strategic shift into dispatchable battery storage and the leadership required to oversee thousands of regional installs. Sharing insights on his personal philosophy of maintaining an unwavering positive focus and a "be so good they can't ignore you" work ethic, Ryan provides a masterclass on navigating high-stakes career evolution and building a lasting legacy.

The power system is aging and poorly equipped to handle the rapid, large-scale shift toward renewables. According to Philipp Schröder, CEO of 1KOMMA5°, the real solutions lie “behind the meter.”  Gerard and Laurent sit down with Schröder to unpack what it will take to unlock the so-called “Behind the Meter” revolution.  Schröder is among a small group of European founders aiming to build a vertically integrated, consumer-focused clean energy company—something akin to a European hybrid of Tesla Energy and Sunrun. His approach combines hardware (such as solar PV systems, home batteries, heat pumps, and EV chargers), installation networks, intelligent software (including IoT-driven energy management like “Heartbeat”), and active participation in energy markets.  Software is becoming increasingly critical. Grid management and pricing systems remain outdated and inefficient, especially in Germany, where reform has been slow due to entrenched interests and the slow deployment of smart meters. By contrast, countries like Sweden are already moving ahead with more modern approaches.  The company's growth appears to validate this strategy. 1KOMMA5° now employs over 3,000 people, is approaching EUR1 billion in annual revenue, and has raised EUR400 million from investors including Eurazeo, CalSTRS, and several prominent family offices.  Key questions remain: How does Schröder position 1KOMMA5° against competitors like Octopus, Enpal, Base, and Thermondo? Is he building the next kind of utility—or deliberately staying outside that model? And how does he navigate policy challenges, particularly when engaging with energy leaders in Germany who remain supportive of fossil fuels?  A fascinating conversation with a formidable entrepreneur who gives back literally “Power to the People”.

He introduces the idea of “sales craft” as something far greater than performance, a framework for life built on adaptability, judgment, and continuous growth.Together, he and Casey explore why comfort is often the biggest threat to long term success, how great leaders consistently recreate themselves, and what it means to operate with urgency in moments that truly matter. Ty also opens up about his obsession with optionality, his fear of stagnation, and the internal standard of always “impressing yourself.”This episode targets entrepreneurs and leaders who want to evolve with intention, embrace change, and refuse to settle at any stage of the journey.

Offering rare insight into the operator's mindset, Patrick highlights how professional-grade financial oversight and a "rebel" spirit of innovation are essential for sending a pulse through the multi-trillion dollar energy industry.

Sustainable Stock and ETF Picks September 2025. Includes reviews of solar, wind, green and sustainable stocks, dividend stocks, and ETFs.

Note: Some companies are covered more than once. ------------------------------------------------------------- Can Solar Power the AI Boom? Top Stocks to Watch This podcast edition is going to be heavy on solar stocks. And for good reason! I'm beginning with this article titled Can Solar Power the AI Boom? Top Stocks to Watch on finance.yahoo.com. It's by Ethan Feller and originally published on zacks.com. Here are some quotes. “It's hard to overstate how attractive solar stocks look right now, even without considering the potential AI infrastructure catalyst… the stocks highlighted here have already shown powerful momentum year-to-date. 1. SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG) With shares trading at depressed valuations and demand for utility-scale inverters likely to rebound, SolarEdge Technologies offers contrarian upside if execution improves. Though it isn't yet reflected by the Zacks rank, SolarEdge Technologies currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) rating, it has experienced some significant revisions higher to its earnings estimates… Sales are also projected to grow by more than 24% both this and next year. 2. Nextracker Inc. (NXT) As the leading provider of solar trackers, Nextracker directly benefits from the shift to utility-scale projects. Its technology boosts panel efficiency and lowers costs, making it a natural winner as large-scale solar buildouts accelerate. The stock has moved significantly higher this year, up 85%, yet the company still trades at just 16.6x forward earnings. 3. Sunrun (RUN) A pure play on residential solar Sunrun has struggled under higher interest rates. But as financing conditions ease and consumer adoption of solar-plus-storage grows, Sunrun could be positioned for a strong recovery. Based on recent revisions, earnings are expected to inflect meaningfully positive over the next year. 4. Array Technologies (ARRY) Like Nextracker, Array builds solar tracking systems that enhance utility-scale efficiency. With a global footprint and strong backlog, Array offers solid exposure to the utility-scale solar buildout at a reasonable valuation. With earnings projected to grow 21.6% annually over the next three to five years and a forward earnings multiple of 14.2x, Array boasts a Price/Earnings to Growth ratio of 0.66. The combination of strong growth and reasonable valuation offers a compelling risk reward opportunity. 5. Shoals Technologies Group (SHLS) Shoals specializes in balance-of-system components — wiring, connectors, and infrastructure that every solar farm needs. Its recurring demand base and high margins make it a steady, less flashy way to play the solar boom. Shoals Technologies Group is in an especially advantaged vertical and is the only name in the group with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) rating, reflected by upward trending earnings revisions. Solar's Role in Powering the AI Revolution If AI data centers really do scale toward hundreds of gigawatts of demand, solar will almost certainly claim a portion, and potentially large share of that market, making now an opportune time to consider exposure to the sector before the market fully prices in this growth.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Stocks to Buy as Solar Power Set to Drive 50%+ of New Capacity Continuing on the solar power theme is this article. It's titled 3 Stocks to Buy as Solar Power Set to Drive 50%+ of New Capacity on finance.yahoo.com. I had to include it as the author is a favourite on this site. Her name is Aparajita Dutta. Here are some quotes on her picks. “Positive projections from the Energy Information Administration show solar powering over half of new U.S. electricity generation in 2025, signaling a rebound. While headwinds remain, growing demand and installation trends should sustain U.S. solar industry momentum. 1. Sunrun (RUN) Based in San Francisco, CA, the company develops, owns, manages and sells residential solar energy systems… The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Sunrun's 2025 revenues indicates an improvement of 11.2% from the prior-year reported figure… The company currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Sunrun Inc. (RUN): Free Stock Analysis Report. 2. Shoals Technologies (SHLS) Based in Portland, TN, the company manufactures a diverse portfolio of solar balance of systems products, including combiner/re-combiner boxes, disconnect boxes, custom harnessing solutions, junction boxes, wire, in-line fuses and racking and monitoring solutions… The stock boasts a long-term (three-to-five years) earnings growth rate of 24%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 sales indicates an improvement of 15.3% from the prior-year reported figure. The company currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (SHLS): Free Stock Analysis Report. 3. Tigo Energy Inc.(TYGO) Based in Campbell, CA, the company is a provider of intelligent solar and energy storage solutions. On Sept. 2, 2025, Tigo Energy announced that its three-phase Tigo EI Residential solution has successfully completed mandatory compliance testing with a Slovak distribution system operator. This certification confirms that the solution complies with local grid requirements and Slovak regulatory standards, ensuring safe, efficient, and innovative solar energy management… The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 sales indicates an improvement of 91.9% from the prior-year reported figure… It currently carries a Zacks Rank #2. Tigo Energy, Inc. (TYGO): Free Stock Analysis Report.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Green ETFs 2026, Best Sustainable ETFs USA, Top Environmentally Friendly ETFs This next article is a useful compilation in chart form of the top sustainable ETFs.

It's by Sunlight Xiang. Here are a few quotes on the picks. “1. Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) With a market cap of $7 billion and a dividend yield of 5.89%, it is one of the world's largest renewable energy platforms. It operates over 5,300 power generation facilities across four continents, with a total generation capacity of nearly 40 gigawatts (GW). While it is a leader in hydroelectric power, it is actively expanding into wind, solar, and energy storage. In July 2025, it signed a 3 GW hydroelectric supply agreement with Google's parent company, Alphabet, setting a record for corporate hydroelectric procurement. The company expects continued cash flow growth and has a project pipeline of 24 GW. Its investment-grade balance sheet and conservative dividend payout ratio support its expansion capabilities. Combining its dividend yield and growth potential, its expected annualized return is around 15%. 2. NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) Although its subsidiary XPLR Infrastructure suspended its dividend, the parent company maintains a strong dividend track record: it has increased its payout for 30 consecutive years, with a compound annual growth rate of 10% since 2007. Its dividend yield stood at 3.2% in mid-2025, roughly double the S&P 500 average. This Fortune 200 company, which owns the largest utility in the U.S. (Florida Power & Light), added 1.1 GW of solar, wind, and storage capacity in the second quarter of 2025, with capital expenditures reaching $2 billion. Despite policy headwinds, it added 3.2 GW to its project backlog during the quarter, bringing the total backlog to approximately 30 GW (compared to 38 GW of operating capacity). 3. Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN) Boasting a market cap of $3 billion and a dividend yield of 7.52%, it owns nearly 12 GW of renewable energy capacity, in addition to operating 2.8 GW of natural gas generation facilities and district energy systems. Long-term PPAs ensure stable cash flow, and its annual dividend is expected to grow by 5% to 8% in the coming years. Although it paused a 200-megawatt solar project in Hawaii due to wildfire risks, it reached a deal in April 2025 to supply power to Microsoft from its planned 335-megawatt Mount Storm wind farm project in West Virginia. Thanks to its close ties with project developer Clearway Energy Group, it has access to a 30 GW project pipeline. A reasonable dividend payout ratio and ample liquidity underpin its resilience.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More articles with Sustainable Investment Picks for September 2025 from around the world. 1.

Lyle Fitterer, senior portfolio manager for the Baird Funds — manager of the Baird Municipal Bond and Baird Strategic Muni Bond funds — says that absolute yields on fixed income looks pretty attractive, but that muni bonds have lagging some other bond types through the beginning of the year, but are poised now for better results in the second half of the year. Selma Hepp, chief economist at Cotality — chairperson of the Business Conditions Survey for the National Association for Business Economics — says that the July survey released today shows that corporate economists have reduced the odds that there's a recession moving forward, but noted that their employers are taking a more cautious approach as they deal with elevated costs in light of tariff changes and other policies. Kyle Guske, analyst at New Constructs, revisits SunRun as a pick in the Danger Zone, noting that the stock bas been cut dramatically after a huge decline in value, but recently has had a bounce from new lows that is setting up buyers for the next big decline.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we have a dialogue with Steve Vassallo, a General Partner at Foundation Capital, to celebrate the firm's 30th anniversary and explore the evolution of venture capital (VC) in Silicon Valley. We discuss the shift of many traditional VC firms from early-stage investments to a more asset management-oriented approach. Steve Vassallo talks about the importance of maintaining a craft-oriented, personalized approach to VC, focusing on product excellence and effective distribution. He also highlights the current trends in AI and blockchain, urging founders to prioritize innovation and core product differentiation in a rapidly changing market. With nearly 18 years at Foundation Capital, Steve shares his unique insights into the changing landscape of venture capital, the importance of maintaining a craft-oriented approach, and the challenges faced by early-stage founders. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Celebrating 30 Years of Foundation Capital Foundation Capital recently marked its 30th anniversary, a significant milestone in its journey. The firm has launched its 11th fund, a $600 million vehicle aimed at supporting extraordinary founders at the earliest stages of their ventures, particularly in the enterprise sector. Steve Vassallo adds that more than half of their investments focus on early-stage companies, including seed and Series A rounds, with a strong emphasis on technology, particularly in fintech and crypto. Steve Vassallo on the Changing VC Landscape Christopher and Steve Vassallo then discuss the evolution of VC firms, noting that many traditional firms have transformed into asset managers rather than remaining true venture capitalists. Steve points out that the percentage of capital raised by these firms for early-stage investments has dwindled significantly. He estimates that only about 20% of the capital raised by these larger firms is allocated to early-stage investments, with the majority directed towards growth-stage companies. In contrast, Foundation Capital dedicates approximately 70-80% of their recent fund to backing founders at the inception of their ideas. Steve humorously refers to these early-stage entrepreneurs as "pre-founders" or "pre-criminals," highlighting the raw potential and creativity that often characterize this stage of entrepreneurship. The Craft of Venture Capital Their conversation then moves to the notion that venture capital is fundamentally a craft business rather than a scalable factory-like operation. Christopher likens the venture capital process to crafting custom surfboards, where the quality and personal touch of the creator matter significantly. He argues that the best results come from a deep, personalized partnership with founders, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Reflecting on his own background in product design, Steve Vassallo adds that he initially believed that the best product would always win in the market. However, he quickly learned that effective distribution often trumps product quality. This realization was humbling for him, as he recognized the critical role that marketing and sales play in a product's success. He stresses that when extraordinary products are paired with exceptional distribution channels, remarkable outcomes can occur.

On this episode of the Best Ever CRE Show, Slocomb Reed interviews Jeremy Long, founder and managing partner of Axia Partners, a vertically integrated investment firm based in Salt Lake City. Jeremy shares his unique journey from door-to-door sales executive to real estate investor, including his experience taking Vivint Solar public and later being acquired by Sunrun. He explains why he and his partner Dave decided to launch with a fund model rather than individual syndications, allowing them to raise capital to a thesis and acquire multiple properties simultaneously. Jeremy discusses their initial investment focus on value-add multifamily in tertiary markets with strong migration patterns, and why they've expanded into RV parks for their consistent cash flow. He also provides candid insights on their challenges transitioning from retail investors to institutional capital, the importance of property management selection in smaller markets, and why they're now narrowing their asset focus after initially diversifying across multiple property types.

Dan Foster is a Chief Operating/Revenue Officer, who built and transformed profitable businesses across technology and telecom start-ups as well as industry powerhouses. Companies turn to him to revive struggling businesses by redefining sales, marketing and customer service strategy, scaling infrastructure, and promoting product innovation. In this episode, Dan shares how bundled solutions increase value and close rates. He discusses AI's growing role in B2B sales and procurement. And stresses using data to understand customer needs and justify pricing.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Learn how bundling products and services can enhance perceived value, increase close rates, and prevent price-sensitive buyers from deconstructing your offerings. Gain insights into how AI is transforming the sales landscape, from optimizing product recommendations to procurement teams using AI to negotiate better prices. Understand why pricing should be tied to the customer's business outcomes and how to communicate the true value of your solutions effectively.   "You take the data around a pricing example and you really understand the value from the end user's perspective, so you got to have that empathy back in to say what moves their business. And when we understand what moves their business with a few numbers, then you start to give the underpinning for why value pricing matters." - Dan Foster    Topics Covered: 02:01 - How his early consulting work made him think about value and led him to pricing 03:23 - Asking about typical reactions to pricing presentations 04:24 - Explaining that selling value starts with understanding product-market fit  07:03 - Highlighting the importance of teaching distribution partners how to sell value, using the Home Depot-SolarCity partnership as an example 10:43 - How can ROI calculators be convincing 14:07 - Explaining that while they don't track proven value directly due to lack of data, anecdotal feedback and supplier insights indicate improved close rates for partners 15:09 - How AI is reshaping product offerings, expanding technology advisors' roles, and influencing cost-cutting for innovation 19:10 - Highlighting that while AI may drive procurement efficiencies complex digital transformation solutions still rely on expertise 20:27 - How bundling simplifies purchasing and reinforce the value of an all-in-one solution 24:27 - Dan's best pricing advice   Key Takeaways: "If you want to buy a ton of storage and it's a commodity, we get that. That could go through the marketplace earlier than not. If you want a digital transformation, if you want to change your customer experience, if you want to make your business run faster, if you want business process automation and robotic process automation, that's not going through a dynamic pricing model on a marketplace near-term. Now, can I go out and look at, like, UiPath Licensing versus Automation Anywhere versus whoever Microsoft scooped up next and look at pricing models? The procurement folks are probably smart to do that." - Dan Foster "But the bundled solution specifically is, I think, fundamental because otherwise, when you offer them the menu-based pricing, oftentimes they don't see the full value." - Dan Foster "It [selling value] starts with that product-market fit. We do a lot of enablement of our partners or downstream almost like a two-tier distributor. And in doing that we provide the ability for them to see a higher close rate when they use tools and resources. It alleviates that conversation and it's inherent that there's value pricing there." - Dan Foster "It's critical to think through in a subscription-based model what that value is, because that customer acquisition cost versus the long-term value of a customer, it's a critical ratio to understand when you're thinking through pricing." - Dan Foster   People/Resources Mentioned: Cummins Engine Company: https://www.cumminsenginepart.com/ Unilever: https://www.unilever.com Alcoa: https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/home/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Selling-Value-Deals-Higher-Prices/product-reviews/1737655217/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews& SolarCity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolarCity Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/ Google: https://www.google.com/?client=safari Lowe's: https://www.lowes.com Sun Power: https://us.sunpower.com Sunrun: https://www.sunrun.com TD Synnex: https://www.tdsynnex.com/na/us/ Ingram Micro: https://www.ingrammicro.com Five9: https://www.five9.com Genesys: https://www.genesys.com/en-sg/ NICE inContact: https://www.nice.com/ Zoom: https://zoom.us Dialpad: incontact.com/content/home.htm ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com Wall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.com/ Automation Anywhere: https://www.automationanywhere.com Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ph/ UiPath Licensing: https://licensing.uipath.com/ Hulu: https://www.hulu.com/welcome?orig_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F Roku TV: https://www.roku.com/products/roku-tv?srsltid=AfmBOoomwWI9G8ZABYW7gSPFzBHc87xVmartPBXAWzj7GfPfAJQYjTtO Super Bowl: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl Xfinity: https://www.xfinity.com/   Connect with Dan Foster: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jdanfoster/ Email: dfoster@telarus.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com
