Sunrun (Nasdaq: RUN), the nation’s leading provider of residential
solar, battery storage and energy services, has appointed Dr.
Marcus Mueller as Vice President of Generation and Rachit
Srivastava as Head of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Marcus joins
Sunrun after serving as Senior Manager of Energy Operations and
Head of Government Relations, Europe, at Tesla Energy for six
years. Rachit joins Sunrun after nearly three years as Head of
Machine Learning at Cockroach Labs.
In his role as Vice President of Generation, Marcus will drive
Sunrun’s asset forecasting and performance to ensure customers’
systems consistently exceed operational expectations. He will also
oversee the company’s long-term grid services and home
electrification strategies, particularly as the company prepares to
introduce an add-on storage option for existing solar-only
customers and a new standalone storage product for all non-solar
households. Sunrun is in an enviable position to provide customers
additional products and services that will enhance their clean
energy lifestyle over strong decades-long relationships.
As Head of AI, Rachit will lead Sunrun’s AI strategy and focus
on driving innovation and integrating cutting-edge technologies in
artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics
across Sunrun’s products and services. His efforts will lead to
increased customer value and a more intelligent, personalized
experience, as well as improved cost efficiency and reduced cycle
times.
“Marcus and Rachit are extraordinary talents who bring vast
experience in energy technology and AI to our team,” said Sunrun
CEO Mary Powell. “They are proven leaders in value-add areas in
which we are hyper focused as we become the nation’s largest
residential electrification company. They are a tremendous win for
the innovative culture we’re building.”
“Embracing advancements in storage technology and AI is critical
to Sunrun’s mission of expanding relationships with our customers
and providing them new all-electric home products and solutions
that empower a clean energy lifestyle,” said Sunrun Chief Revenue
Officer Paul Dickson. “We are rapidly approaching one million
customers. With our scale and market-leading position, investing in
machine learning and AI will open up substantial opportunities for
us to develop additional programs and services that deliver even
greater value to both our customers and grid operators.”
“I couldn't be more excited about this opportunity,” said Dr.
Marcus Mueller. “Sunrun’s speed, scale, and storage expertise are
key differentiators as more consumers look to protect their homes
from rising energy costs and power disruptions. Our market-leading
position gives us the ability to offer products and programs to
customers that not only provide them with additional value streams
and energy security, but also serve as a benefit for the entire
grid system as we are rapidly electrifying our homes.”
“I’m thrilled to be joining Sunrun at a time when the company is
investing in new technologies and innovation to better the lives of
people across the country,” said Rachit Srivastava. “Sunrun has
massive potential to fully realize the benefits of AI and
fundamentally change the way people think about and interact with
energy. I look forward to working with the team to drive an
enhanced customer experience and greater value for our
customers.”
In 2017, Marcus joined Tesla Energy as Europe’s Head of
Government Relations. He transitioned to Tesla’s U.S. headquarters,
where he held several positions, the most recent of which was
Senior Manager of Energy Operations. Prior to joining Tesla, Marcus
was a Research Director at the Technical University of Munich and a
scientific researcher at Airbus, focusing on all-electric
helicopter technology.

Technical University of Munich on stationary battery storage
systems. He holds a Doctor of Engineering and an MBA from the
Technical University of Munich. Additionally, he holds a Master of
Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of the German

technology and infrastructure. He has developed forecasting
algorithms and consumer behavior models for some of the largest
financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.
Rachit most recently led machine learning and data science for
Cockroach Labs, where he helped scale a distributed SQL database
used by prominent companies across several consumer-facing
industries. Prior to Cockroach Labs, he used AI and machine
learning to build trading signals from alternative data sets in his
role as Vice President of Research and Modeling at Two Sigma, a
leading quantitative trading hedge fund.
