Distributed power & AI compute

Power and compute, distributed where America lives

Sunrun is turning more than 1.1 million homes into the nation’s largest distributed energy and AI compute network — delivering flexible power for data centers and inference capacity at the edge, while putting households at the center of the AI revolution.

At a glance

Sunrun Compute

Two complementary programs — flexible power and distributed compute — built on infrastructure already in American homes.

16+ GW

Flexible home energy capacity

Aggregated from home batteries, solar, and smart devices through Sunrun, Renew Home, and Tesla — deployable in months, not years.

1.1M+

Homes in Sunrun’s deployment base

An immediately addressable footprint for distributed power and edge compute — without new land, transmission, or datacenter buildouts.

Months, not years

Where traditional data centers wait on permits and interconnection queues, Sunrun’s distributed model adds power and inference capacity at speed.

Flexible power

16+ gigawatts of fast, flexible power

Sunrun, Renew Home, and Tesla have established a framework to deliver more than 16 gigawatts of flexible energy capacity to hyperscalers and utilities — aggregating millions of existing devices into local, turnkey solutions.
Hundreds of thousands of home battery systems (Sunrun + Tesla)
8+ million smart thermostats and devices (Renew Home)
300+ MW available now in Virginia’s Data Center Alley

Distributed compute

America’s homes become a nationwide compute network

Sunrun has launched a residential distributed AI compute pilot — a first step toward converting 1.1 million existing customers into a nationwide network for distributed AI workload processing.

Why Sunrun

Geographic flexibility

Behind-the-meter deployment bypasses rising rates, overloaded grids, and supply shortages

Scale without lead time

1.1M+ homes without land acquisition or transmission buildout

Existing service infrastructure

Sunrun already monitors and services 1M+ homes nationwide

Backup power built in

Battery systems keep compute running through grid outages

Grid resilience, not strain

Better utilization turns the network into a grid asset and compute asset

Customer compensation

Homeowners earn for hosting compute — beyond solar savings
