Sunrun Installs 91 Megawatts In Mixed Second Quarter

US residential solar company Sunrun confirmed itself as the country’s leading solar installer in the second quarter by installing a total of 91 megawatts (MW) worth of new capacity, its best-ever quarter, despite also reporting earnings-per-share well under expectations. Sunrun published its second-quarter earnings late last week, revealing an impressive 91 MW worth of solar deployed in the quarter, up 20% from 76 MW a year ago and up 33% on the first quarter. Creation cost per watt was $3.22, down on the $3.37 reported a year ago. The strong quarterly deployments came on the back of a lackluster first quarter which saw only 68 MW installed.
