Last week we covered the growth of Sunrun through both channels, the acquisition of a solar installer and partnering with Sungevity as originator. GTM is pondering the downticket success of local installers with the growth of residential financing platforms.

Local installers aren’t being left in the dust by larger platforms, they are being leveraged to move quickly into new markets, they are the lifeblood of the solar industry.
