VSLR - Is Sunrun or SunPower Right About the Future of Residential Solar?
There are essentially three big residential solar companies investors can invest in right now, and that's about to go down to two. Sunrun (NASDAQ: RUN) and Vivint Solar (NYSE: VSLR) are combining to form a mega-residential solar installer, which will be a nearly $9 billion company. The third is SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR), which has spent the last few years shedding its utility-scale solar business and yieldco, and spinning off its manufacturing operations this month, all to focus on residential and commercial solar development.
What investors need to consider today is where the most value will be created in the residential solar industry, and what value they're getting when they buy solar stocks. Choosing the best stock to invest in gets complicated.
