Powur

Overview

Powur PBC is a residential solar and energy-storage company headquartered in Del Mar, California, widely reported to have been founded in 2014 by Jonathan Budd. Public filings (BBB) show a business start date of December 2006 and California incorporation in 2019, so exact founding/incorporation history is not fully consistent across sources. Powur has described itself as a Delaware public benefit corporation and Certified B Corporation with a mission of accelerating clean-energy adoption, though this could not be independently re-confirmed against Powur's own site in this pass (its pages returned no extractable text to the fetch tool used). 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).
