Sunrun (RUN) earlier announced the launch of a distributed AI compute pilot program. The pilot marks Sunrun’s first step into distributed edge computing, a new business category that the company believes represents a high-margin revenue opportunity leveraging its existing energy infrastructure, large customer base, and grid service capabilities. Following a successful proof of concept that demonstrated revenue generation and high demand for distributed compute, Sunrun is expanding the pilot to place numerous compute nodes in homes equipped with Sunrun solar and battery storage systems. “AI companies are scrambling to secure greater access to energy and computing power,” said Sunrun President and Chief Revenue Officer Paul Dickson. Sunrun shares are up 5.3% ahead of the market open.
