Sunrun Launches Solar Plus Energy Storage System ‘Sunrun BrightBox’ in California

Sunrun has announced the availibility of Sunrun BrightBox , solar energy generation and home battery storage system in California with new features that provide homeowners greater peace of mind with backup and total home energy control.

The company notes that with BrightBox, Californians can enjoy a customized and innovative solution with little to no money down and Sunrun will maintain, monitor and insure the system for 20 years. Systems are available through a monthly or prepaid lease.

According to BrightBox also saves homeowners money by seamlessly optimizing when a home uses electricity generated directly from the home’s solar system, stored in the battery, or sourced from the grid, resulting in maximum control over electricity bills.

“Building on the successful launch of BrightBox in Hawaii, we are thrilled to offer Sunrun BrightBox to California homeowners who’ve been the leaders in adopting clean energy at scale,” said Lynn Jurich, Chief Executive Officer of Sunrun. “We will continue to innovate and deploy services that will further help our customers obtain smarter energy options to ensure they enjoy the comfortable homes they deserve at lower energy costs. Importantly, with innovations such as BrightBox, we hope to forge new relationships with utilities as we work with them to maximize the value of solar energy in modernizing America’s energy infrastructure.”

As California moves toward a Time-of-Use (TOU) rate structure, Sunrun BrightBox will provide consumers new ways to manage their energy consumption, allowing homeowners the capability to time shift when they use solar energy to minimize paying peak rate energy prices.

“By bringing Sunrun BrightBox to California, we are offering our customers a customized solar plus energy storage solution that provides clean, affordable energy with backup power when you need it,” said Michael Grasso, Chief Marketing Officer of Sunrun. “The backup capability ensures you will have several hours of power for important appliances and electronics even when your local electricity grid goes down.”
