What this shows Sunrun's Innovation Score is 37.3/100 (top 44% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sunrun?

Each dot is one of Sunrun’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Sunrun’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sunrun's grants concentrate

Sunrun South LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 89.7% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Sunrun sits between SiliconIntervention Inc. and TEK Global S.R.L..

Sunrun's three-year grant acceleration

Sunrun South LLC shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
