Why get home energy storage?

A home battery is more important than ever

Maximize your potential savings

Store excess solar energy during the day and use that stored energy at night to avoid peak utility rates.

Power through outages

If the power goes out, your batteries provide backup power and recharges your panels during the day.

Earn potential rewards

Some utility companies will pay you to share your battery power with them during high demand times.

BATTERY BENEFITS BEYOND OUTAGE PROTECTION

Use more of your own energy and less of the utility’s

Make the most of your solar energy produced by storing it for use at night or during peak rate hours.

Solar-only home energy systems

When you're producing more power than your home is currently using, the excess goes to the grid. While you may receive a credit, its value is often lower than the full retail price you pay the utility for electricity.

Solar + storage home energy systems

When you're producing more power than your home is currently using, the excess goes to charge your battery. You can use that energy later to power your home before pulling energy from the grid, reducing your reliance on the utility.

Crystal S. San Luis Obispo, CA (Google)

"We are very happy with our solar and especially our back up battery. There have been multiple power outages in our neighborhood without any interruption in our power."

Joel H. Elmsford, NY (Google)

"I took the option of adding the Tesla Powerwall 3 and can see on the Tesla app that it is storing and releasing power well. It knows when a storm is predicted and pumps up the battery to 100% so it could serve us a few days of backup if needed. All in all, I am a very happy customer."

Samuel M. San Antonio, TX (Best Company)

"The Tesla batteries work great and provide plenty of power when needed. The solar panels recharge the batteries very quickly on a cloudless day. Sunrun's representatives have always provided great customer service any time I have interacted with them."

Jeralyn B. Kewanee, IL (BBB)

"I have had a power outage & backup Tesla battery kicked in immediately. The App kept me informed on usage & when power was restored. Very happy that I chose Sunrun."

Noele D. Hidden Valley Lake, CA (Consumer Affairs)

"Setting everything up with Sunrun was straightforward and hassle-free. The battery backup has been a lifesaver, kicking in a couple of times each year. Most recently, it was invaluable during a wind storm that knocked out the power. It's really convenient; I could still use my microwave and coffee outlets."
