About this update from Sunrun Inc.

Investor Presentation August 2026 Sunrun is powering a customer-led revolution to clean, affordable and locally-generated energy. We are building a more resilient electric grid and doing it at a massive scale and at a rapid pace. OLD WAY Centralized control, single points of failure, expensive, polluting, limited consumer engagement in energy NEW WAY A network of decentralized, decarbonized, democratized, affordable clean energy with consumers Investor Presentation 3 Sunrun Overview Sunrun is powering a customer-led revolution to Our Compelling Value Proposition clean, affordable and locally-generated energy at scale and at a sustained pace. Formed in 2007, Sunrun pioneered the residential solar energy as a subscription service. We provide a solar energy service with fixed pricing under 20- or 25-year subscription agreements that generate recurring, contracted revenue for multiple decades. We have sold our solar service in 22 states, DC & Puerto Rico. Sunrun has a leading customer acquisition platform, customer experience capabilities, and extensive financing experience, all of which drive significant barriers to entry and the opportunity for high incremental returns. 1,205,613+ Customers 8.7 Gigawatts Networked Solar Energy Capacity 4.6 Gigawatt hours Networked Storage Capacity $2.0 Billion Annual Recurring Revenue VALUE TO CUSTOMERS VALUE TO SUNRUN VALUE TO SOCIETY We have delivered more than $1.3 billion in savings for our customers since 2007. (1) Storage provides premium power, including backup capabilities to enable customers to power through storms. Typically 20- or 25-year customer relationship which can be monetized beyond core solar energy product. Typically 20- or 25-year value stream is financed upfront to fully cover upfront costs and generate cash immediately. Residential solar and storage is a cost-effective way to modernize the country's infrastructure to make it more resilient, affordable and environmentally sustainable. According to our internal estimates, Sunrun's systems have prevented greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions totaling 26.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) , an amount comparable to eliminating more than 67 billion passenger-vehicle miles. (2) The solar industry employs ~280,000 workers in America and plays a vital role in meeting the country's energy needs. (3) See Appendix for Glossary of Terms. Customers, Networked Solar Energy Capacity, Networked Storage Capacity and Annual Recurring Revenue is rounded and as of June 30, 2026. For all Customers through December 31, 2023.

Interstate Renewable Energy Council's (IREC) National Solar Jobs Census 2024. Investor Presentation 4 Massive & underpenetrated growth opportunity The vast majority of US homes have no battery storage Of ~90 million total addressable homes, less than 1 million have storage (~775k homes or ~0.9% penetration) (1) Sunrun offers storage as part of a Solar + Storage service or as a standalone offering for new or existing Sunrun Customers. Only ~20% of Sunrun's existing 1 million Customers have storage. Even in storage-first markets, substantial untapped opportunity exists (1) : Puerto Rico 16%, Hawaii 13%, California 4%, Texas <1% Solar + Storage service can provide resiliency and is generally a more affordable option than traditional standby generators. These generators consume fuel, require maintenance, and have a high Homes with batteries Homes without batteries Note: ~775k homes with batteries (~0.9%) of ~90 million addressable homes (1) upfront cost (~$10-$15k) while sitting idle ~99% of the year. Sunrun's Solar + Storage service has no upfront cost to the customer and generates economic value 365 days a year. ~6% of US homes have solar, and a much higher penetration rate has been obtained in first-mover markets 0.2m 5.4m 18.6m % Penetration of 90m Addressable Homes (2) 2012 2025 2034E 0.3% ~6% ~19% Even assuming a 15% average annual industry growth rate for the next 10-years leads to ~19% penetration of U.S. houses (2) . Our strong value proposition supports a much greater number. Much higher penetration proven: In markets where the value proposition was evident first, like Hawaii and California, penetration has reached 34% and 25% (2) , respectively, and growth continues. Number of homes with storage (U.S. total and by state) is based on estimates from Ohm Analytics (through December 2025). Estimate used for housing stock is based on the U.S. Census 2023 American Community Survey by State using occupied single-unit housing using average state occupancy estimates. Number of homes with solar (U.S. total and by state) is based on EIA Form 861M Residential PV Customers (through December 2025). Estimate used for housing stock is based on the U.S. Census 2023 American Community Survey by State using occupied single-unit housing using average state occupancy estimates. Estimated 2034 market penetration assumes housing units grow at 0.7% (Census data). Sunrun internal estimates for 2025 and beyond. Investor Presentation 5 Sunrun is the #1 residential market leader Operating scale and strong network effects provide significant competitive advantages 0.7% $262 billion annual spend (3) Sunrun US Residential Electricity Sales A disciplined strategy and long track record of growth has resulted in a leading market share position With approximately 18% share of residential solar installation volumes (1) , and 47% share of subscription volumes (2) ('TPO' or solar leases & PPAs) And yet remains <1% of total U.S. residential electricity market (3) See Appendix for Glossary of Terms.

Annual spend from EIA based on sales of electricity to residential customers for 2025. Investor Presentation 6 Utility pricing is increasing and reliability is declining. Solar and storage technology is improving and becoming lower cost. The price of electricity nationwide has risen 35% over the past five years (1) , with even steeper increases in many of our top markets. In December 2023, CPUC approved PG&E's rate increase of 19.6% (2) in California, effective January 1, 2024. In 2025, the major U.S. utilities spent $167 billion in capital investments, exceeding depreciation expense by 2.5x. (3) Yet, people are increasingly facing outages from wildfires, hurricanes and major storms. The average annual number of weather-related power outages has increased by almost 80% from 2011-2021. (4) More than 70% of America's transmission lines and large power transformers are at least 25 years old, and utilities will need to spend an exorbitant $2.2 trillion on infrastructure upgrades during the next 20 years in order to keep our system up and running. These costs will ultimately be passed to consumers. With the expected capex trends, significant increases are likely even if wholesale prices fall.

More fuel switching results in larger systems, which have high incremental returns to Sunrun. 1 Rooftop solar power 2 Batteries 3 Electric vehicle chargers 4 Smart Circuits 5 Heat pumps for heating & cooling 6 Heat pump water heater 7 Smart thermostat 8 Induction cooktop 9 Smart bulbs 10 Smart plugs Investor Presentation 9 The Sunrun network can deliver distributed power plants to transition to a decentralized power grid Home solar and batteries are more flexible and efficient than traditional centralized infrastructure. Utilities spend more than $130 billion per year in capital investments and we believe $13 billion could be replaced by distributed resources. (2) Sunrun can provide valuable grid services from our fleet of networked solar and storage systems, mitigating the need for utilities to invest in additional infrastructure, driving benefits for all users of the grid, while also providing incremental recurring revenue opportunities for Sunrun and incremental value to our customers for participating in these programs. Sunrun has now installed more than 266,000 battery systems representing 4.6 GWhrs of Networked Storage Capacity. (3) Distributed Power Plants Virtual Distribution Capacity Virtual Transmission Capacity Provides clean, cost-effective peaking capacity. Avoids substation overhauls by dropping excess load when needed locally. Provides generation and reliability in congested areas where new transmission lines are difficult to build. California Load Duration Curve Highlights Opportunity (1) The traditional energy system is built to accommodate peak capacity, which is reached only a tiny fraction of the year. 14 GWs of system capacity is used less than 5% of the time. See Appendix for Glossary of Terms. California ISO, Historical EMS Hourly Load for 2022. Utility capex Edison Electric Institute's Wall Street Briefing published April 2023. Rocky Mountain Institute "The Economics of Demand Flexibility" published in August 2015 estimates $13 billion or more of spend could be met from flexible, distributed resources. As of June 30, 2026.

Investor Presentation 11 Increasing customer value proposition and margin opportunity by expanding offering TRADITIONAL GRID SUNRUN SOLAR SERVICE SUNRUN RECHARGEABLE SOLAR BATTERY SYSTEM SUNRUN ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND DISTRIBUTED POWER PLANT Value Potential Progress Current Contracted Net Subscriber Value ~$12,000+ Expected to increase Renewals at end of initial subscription term ~$3,000 to ~$4,500 per customer Initial pilot completed with initial "early look" offer; initial results indicated likely realization exceeding values currently embedded in our GEA metric today Repowering systems with new equipment to meet growing energy needs of home ~$5,000 to ~$15,000 per customer Optimizing offers for customers to consider upgrading systems to meet increased energy needs at time of renewal or earlier Installing batteries on existing customers to provide energy resiliency ~$3,000+ per customer Thousands of orders so far and orders are growing rapidly. Grid services (distributed power plants) ~$2,000 or more per customer Over a dozen operating distributed power plant programs across the country Largest distributed power plant operating in CA; launched offering with Tesla in Texas and more to follow Home electrification offerings, such as electric vehicle charging infrastructure $100 to $1,000+ per customer Thousands of orders for advanced electric vehicle charging infrastructure, including Ford Charge Station Pro Ultimate customer value should significantly exceed initial contracted Net Subscriber Values Investor Presentation 12 Post-contract custom Contracts are written to typically renew annually after the initial contract term at 90% of the prevailing utility rate . Renewal values in metrics assume customers renew at a er values & renewal assumptions disc e oun m t to b the e rat d e in d eff e ec d t at t i h n e end m of t e he t in r iti i al c co s ntra m ct . ay be conservative Advantaged position compared to competitors: The marginal cost of delivering energy during the renewal period will likely be lower than a new system (whether installed by us or a competitor). Further, units of electricity do not become obsolete, thus it is unlikely customers will feel compelled to upgrade to the "next version." No cross-selling / upselling / repowering assumed: We have not included any other intangible benefits associated with the customer relationship such as expanded systems, batteries, or ancillary services such as electric vehicle charging systems. With increased electrification (including electric vehicles), it is likely consumers will want more electricity, not less, and Sunrun will be in a cost-advantaged position to provide this option. For Flex Customer Agreements that allow variable billings based on the amount of electricity consumed by the Subscriber, only the minimum contracted payment is included in Contracted Cash Flows. Remaining asset value beyond renewal assumption: Sunrun assumes only 5-years of renewals following a 25-year contract, or a 30-year total customer relationship, despite our solar assets' useful lives extending 35 years or more, as determined by independent engineers. Customers may choose to purchase systems or renew. Contracts auto-renew at a discount to utility rates, which may escalate much faster: The renewal portion of our reported metrics assumes that 100% of Subscribers renew at 90% of the contractual PPA rate in effect at the end of the initial contract term. In reality, customer contracts are written to typically automatically renew at a rate equal to 90% of the prevailing utility rate. This means that, assuming utility rates escalate at a faster rate than our typical contract escalators, approximately ~50% of our customers could not renew and Sunrun would still effectively realize the renewal value presented in our reported metric. (1) See Appendix for Glossary of Terms. (1) Assumes starting discount to utility of 20% with a 4% annual escalation of utility prices compared to our portfolio average of 2% for Sunrun customers. Investor Presentation 13 Sunrun is making an impact Our approach is to benefit all of our stakeholders: our customers, our employees, and the communities in which we operate, as well as our business and financial partners. Since 2007, Sunrun's systems have prevented greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions totaling 26.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) We generate positive carbon returns Because Sunrun's systems have a lifespan of 30 years or longer, they prevent the release of harmful GHGs for 95% of their lifetime. In 2025, Sunrun was honored with numerous awards for our commitment to fostering a better workplace, advancing our business, and contributing positively to our planet. Forbes: America's Dream Employers Forbes: America's Best Sunrun is the first clean energy company to surpass 1 million residential solar customers , now providing significant benefits through delivery of clean energy to 1 million families or approximately 3 million people. Sunrun's near and long-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, including a Positive Carbon Return (28 years+) Carbon Payback Period (2 years) For All Scope 1, 2 & 3 Emissions Midsize Companies of 2025 Vet Indexes: Recognized 2050 net-zero goal , have been officially validated by the Science Employer Extel: Best Company Board, Best CEO, Best CFO, Best Investor Relations Team and Best ESG Program for Alternative Energy Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
