Who We Are
We’re on a mission to make energy more reliable and affordable for more people. We provide an opportunity with storage and solar to help people access greater energy independence without the big upfront costs.

Overview
Want to start your solar career in a market where clean energy is booming? Sunrun is looking for motivated Non-Certified Electricians in surrounding mid-western states who are ready to take their skills to the next level.

We back your move with relocation support so you can focus on building your future in solar.
Making the Move to Illinois:
Thinking about relocating? We’ve got you covered. Qualified candidates outside the Chicago area are eligible for competitive relocation support and sign-on incentives to help you transition smoothly.
