Sunrun of the United States Advances Financing for 74MW Solar and 110MWh Residential Energy Storage Assets

en.Wedoany.com Reported - On November 10, the U.S. energy investment firm Captona announced the completion of a project financing partnership with U.S. residential energy company Sunrun, providing financing support through project-level preferred equity investments for 9,400 residential solar and battery storage projects across more than 20 U.S. states. These assets collectively involve 74MW of solar power generation capacity and 110MWh of battery storage capacity.

The transaction adopts a project-level preferred equity investment structure, with funds corresponding to individual residential solar and storage projects under Sunrun rather than equity financing at Sunrun's parent company level. Captona stated that such financing instruments can improve the monetization efficiency of renewable energy project tax credits and facilitate the arrangement of senior debt financing for the projects. Compared with traditional single debt or tax equity financing, project-level preferred equity provides another capital allocation method for distributed energy assets.

The 9,400 projects covered by this financing are distributed across more than 20 states, with a total solar capacity of 74MW and a total storage capacity of 110MWh. The projects adopt residential-side distributed energy configurations, combining solar power generation with battery storage to form a dispersed portfolio of household energy assets. Unlike centralized large-scale energy storage stations, these assets are distributed across different residences and regional power systems, and their specific operating modes and grid service capabilities depend on each project's grid connection conditions, equipment configurations, and local market rules.

This partnership is also a new transaction in Captona's expansion of its preferred equity investment business scope. In October 2026, Captona reached a similar financing partnership with U.S. community solar developer Nexamp, covering 10 projects in Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, and New York, involving 55MW of solar power generation and 5MWh of battery storage. This partnership with Sunrun extends its preferred equity financing business from community solar projects to residential solar and storage assets.
