SunCommon

SunCommon is a Vermont-based installer of residential solar power systems. It is headquartered in Waterbury, Vermont.[1]

The company originated with advocacy group Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG), which in September 2010 started a program to install solar power and hot water systems for homeowners.[2] The initiative's success led VPIRG to spin it off into independent company SunCommon, which was incorporated as a benefit corporation in December 2011.[2] SunCommon was publicly launched in March 2012 after finding funding via private investment; when it began operations, it had 32 employees and annual revenue of about $2 million.[3]

SunCommon installed its 1,000th residential solar system in December 2014,[4] and by late 2016 had reached 2,000 installations, with a workforce of about 100.[5] Its 2015 revenue was about $22 million.[1]
