Sungevity is a solar electricity company based in Oakland, California. Founded in 2007, the company designs home solar systems; provides financing options; and manages system installation, maintenance, and performance.

Sungevity operates in the United States and Europe. Within the United States, it installed solar panels and solar systems in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, Delaware, and Washington D.C.[1] In 2012, the company reported having more than 250 employees,[2] but in 2017 it laid off almost all its staff and was sold to Northern Pacific Group.[3]

In 2020, Sungevity's assets were acquired by Minnesota-based company Pineapple Energy, which resumed activity under the Sungevity name in California only.[4][5]
