DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is RUN Halal?

Residential solar installer — financing structure concerns.

What You Should Know

Core solar installation is halal but company offers leasing with potential interest-based contracts. Debt-heavy balance sheet. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports $22,765.093 million of assets, $14,795.345 million of interest-bearing debt, $679.552 million of cash, $232.508 million of receivables and $722.231 million of quarterly revenue. Debt/assets is 64.99%; customer-agreement and incentive revenue of $467.822 million is used as a conservative financing-linked activity proxy, while interest income is not separately disclosed.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Financing structure
  • Heavy debt
  • Interest-rate exposure
  • Tax-equity and securitization complexity

A properly licensed and reproducible historical market-cap series is not stored; market-cap methods cannot cure the debt or financing-structure failure.

Business-activity disclosure

Sunrun installs and owns residential solar and storage systems and offers long-term customer agreements with financing components. The retained qualitative concern is the potential use of interest-based lease or financing structures even though solar generation itself is permissible.

Limitation: The filing reports customer-agreement revenue and financing components but does not isolate a scholar-universal prohibited-revenue or interest-income numerator; the entered customer-agreement figure is a conservative proxy.

Purification

Sunrun does not separately quantify interest income in the filing; ZakatInvest does not infer a purification percentage for financing-component revenue.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Amounts are USD millions from Sunrun's March 31, 2026 consolidated Form 10-Q.
  • Interest-bearing debt is $14,795.345 million of total debt, net; non-recourse debt, convertible notes and line-of-credit balances are included, while deferred revenue and lease liabilities are excluded.
  • Consolidated cash is $679.552 million and accounts receivable is $232.508 million; restricted cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents.
  • Revenue is $722.231 million. Customer agreements and incentives of $467.822 million are used as a conservative disclosed proxy for financing-linked customer contracts; this is not a claim that every dollar is impermissible.
  • The filing does not separately disclose interest income, so income screening and purification remain incomplete.

This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
