UPDATE - Sunrun Launches Brightbox™ Solar and Battery Storage Solution in Long Island
December 07 2017 - 1:02PM
Sunrun Inc. (Nasdaq:RUN), the nation’s largest dedicated
residential solar, storage and energy services company, is pleased
to announce the availability of the Sunrun BrightBox™ solar energy
generation and home battery storage service to homeowners in Long
Island, NY.
BrightBox™ offers homeowners in Long Island peace
of mind during power outages by backing up the electricity that
matters most to homeowners. In 2012, Hurricane Sandy tore into New
York, leaving millions without power. Whether it’s hurricanes or
other forms of natural disasters such as ice storms, blizzards or
polar vortexes, power to communities on the east coast will
inevitably be impacted by disruptions.
“BrightBox™ can play a critical role for homeowners who want to
have electricity to power through any storm, while also supporting
New York's goals to power its future with clean energy and increase
the reliability of its energy grid,” said Sunrun co-founder and CEO
Lynn Jurich. “Sunrun's BrightBox fits the bill for Long Island
residents who want to be prepared with a reliable energy solution
when the unexpected occurs. It can even become a distributed
resource for New York utilities to draw on to keep the entire grid
more reliable."
Last month, Sunrun traveled to Puerto Rico to install solar
systems, including BrightBox, on several fire stations to provide
emergency relief to residents on the island. These energy solutions
are now powering critical emergency systems 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week on an island where much of the population is still without
power.
Using the latest solar and battery storage technology, the
Sunrun BrightBox™ service has the ability to allow homeowners to
save money on their energy bills by seamlessly optimizing when a
home uses electricity generated directly from the home’s solar
system, stored in the battery, or when the home draws energy from
the grid, resulting in maximum quality control over electricity
bills. This service is available in areas where utilities offer
advanced time varying rates and programs.
With BrightBox™, homeowners 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 service fee
or prepaid.
BrightBox technology is already helping customers power through
extreme weather in Hawaii and California. “My system had just gone
live a few days before major storms were forecasted in January
2017. Everything worked better than expected—including my
refrigerator and freezer, lights, both TVs, and even my burglar
alarm,” says Bob Smith, one of Sunrun’s first BrightBox customers.
“Luckily my power was off only a little over two hours, but I’m
sure I would have easily made it through the night since I had a
100% charge.”
Sunrun is committed to sourcing and integrating the highest
quality technology to ensure customers have reliable,
high-performing home energy services. For more information about
