SunCommon is a Vermont-based installer of residential solar power systems. It is headquartered in Waterbury, Vermont.[1] The business was co-founded by Duane Peterson[2] and James Moore.[3]
The company originated with the 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.[4] To meet the demand for clean energy, a new entity was needed that could take in outside capital and scale up, so Duane and James launched SunCommon. SunCommon was officially launched in March 2012 after finding funding via private investment; when it began operations, it had 16 employees and annual revenue of about $2 million.[5] SunCommon installed its 1,000th residential solar system in December 2014,[6] and by late 2016 had reached 2,000 installations, with a workforce of about 100.[7] Its 2015 revenue was about $22 million.[1]
In May 2018, SunCommon expanded into New York after merging with Hudson Solar.[8] As of March 2020, SunCommon employed 189 people and added over 80 Megawatts of solar to the electric grids of Vermont and New York. This number includes over 8,000 residences and 37 Community Solar Arrays.[9]
In June 2024, the company's parent, iSun, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing slumping sales and turmoil as part of the decision. The company plans to keep SunCommon operating during the proceedings while it tries to find a buyer for the company.[10]
