Sunrun is running a pilot program, reported by Bloomberg, that allows some of its solar customers to earn money by contributing their systems’ computing power. The initiative is positioned as an additional way for solar users to participate in a broader market for compute resources, rather than relying solely on electricity generation or traditional incentives. Under the pilot, participating customers’ solar equipment is used to provide computing capacity, and customers receive compensation for sharing that resource. The reports describe the program as limited in scope and currently in a trial phase, suggesting it may expand only after evaluation of performance, cost, and customer participation. The available coverage does not provide details on the specific partner involved, the exact compensation structure, or the geographic rollout, but it frames the pilot as an effort by Sunrun to explore new revenue streams connected to its customer base and installed solar assets. Overall, the reporting indicates that the company is testing whether customers can monetize distributed energy-linked infrastructure through computing-related services.
