CalReady+

As energy demand continues to increase and outpaces the supply, Sunrun CalReady provides a fast and meaningful way to provide large scale capacity of energy to the California grid. Sunrun CalReady is a network of tens of thousands of Sunrun home battery systems across California, coordinated to offset grid strain and reduce power outages. When energy demand is high, SunRun CalReady distributes energy back to the grid, bypassing the need for peaker stations. In return, Sunrun passes on rewards to Sunrun CalReady participants as a way of sharing benefits across the system.

Yes. CalReady is a Sunrun Distributed Power Plant similar to a virtual power plant (VPP). Sunrun manages the coordination between your system and the grid. Sunrun customers who participate receive the benefits directly from Sunrun. CalReady is simply a perk of being a Sunrun customer.

CalReady is available to qualifying Sunrun solar & storage customers in California. Eligible customers will be contacted by Sunrun via email, notifying them that they qualify and are enrolled before the start of each Sunrun CalReady season.

Following the conclusion of the Sunrun CalReady summer season of  10/31/26 participants will receive more information regarding their final reward amount directly from Sunrun. Sunrun will notify Participants when the Sunrun Incentive is available in Spring 2027.

Sunrun batteries are equipped with smart features that prioritize your energy needs while maximizing earnings in Sunrun CalReady. Sunrun will seamlessly control and monitor your system. Throughout the season, Sunrun may signal your system to charge, discharge, or change its mode of operation. During a grid event, the stored PV power in your battery system will send energy to your home and then the grid (if extra is available), until reaching your backup reserve. Otherwise, your system will operate under default optimized settings.
