Powur

Overview

Powur, PBC is a residential solar and energy-storage company based in California. Its SEC crowdfunding filings describe it as a Delaware public benefit corporation incorporated in January 2014, and it is widely reported to have been founded by Jonathan Budd. Those filings list addresses in both Del Mar and Carlsbad, California. Powur announced Certified B Corporation status in 2020, with a mission of accelerating clean-energy adoption. Powur sells solar and battery-storage systems to homeowners through a network of independent sales representatives ("solar consultants"), who use Powur's software platform to generate leads, design proposals, and manage projects, while licensed third-party partners handle installation. Representative compensation is structured as a unilevel-style commission plan. The company has been recognized on Inc. magazine's Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private U.S. companies in past years, and has raised capital through public equity crowdfunding offerings (e.g., via Wefunder).
