Sunrun Partners Offer BrightBox™ Solar Power Plus Energy Storage Systems in Hawai‘i
July 26 2016 - 4:00PM
Sunrun Inc. (Nasdaq:RUN), the largest dedicated residential
solar company in the United States, today announced its partners in
Hawai‘i can offer Sunrun BrightBoxTM solar plus energy storage
systems and Hawai‘i residents can buy Sunrun BrightBox directly at
big box retailers. With BrightBox, Hawai‘i residents can enjoy
affordable clean energy day and night through a monthly or prepaid
lease for little to no money down.
It is easier than ever for local customers to start powering
their home day and night with affordable clean energy. Sunrun
partners selling Sunrun BrightBox in Hawai‘i include Rising Sun
Solar, American Electric, RevoluSun, Alternate Energy, Island Sun
Solar and LGCY Power. Local Sunrun partners can also continue to
grow and maintain operations, despite changes in the regulatory
environment for residential solar in Hawai‘i.
“By offering BrightBox in retail stores and through our
partners, more Hawai‘i residents will enjoy saving on their
electricity bill with clean solar power day and night,” said
Michael Grasso, Sunrun’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Solar plus
storage is the next phase for rooftop solar in Hawaii and will help
the state reach its ambitious 100 percent clean energy goal.”
Hawaiian Electric Company’s (HECO) new Customer Self-Supply
(CSS) Program enables homeowners to install solar plus energy
storage and produce affordable clean power for their own use at
home. The Hawaiian grid benefits from residents installing solar
plus energy storage because connected systems help eliminate or
defer the need for expensive backup power plants, new power lines
and energy grid upgrades. BrightBox offers residents an opportunity
to continue to save with the sun even as utility constraints have
reduced consumer choice. Sunrun BrightBox customers will be
prioritized for installation by their local utility under the
state’s CSS Program.
“We’re able to continue to grow and operate our business in
Maui, Oahu and the Big Island, thanks to the Sunrun BrightBox
product. It’s the right solution for the evolving residential solar
market,” said Matias Besasso, co-owner of Rising Sun Solar. “We
anticipate strong customer interest in a product like BrightBox,
which offers clean solar power priced below utility prices
today.”
For customers interested in BrightBox, Sunrun takes care of
everything from permitting to installation. Customers can go solar
hassle-free—all they need to think about is what they’ll do with
the money they’ll be saving.
