Add Brightbox, Sunrun’s battery storage service, to your solar installation in Princeton. This can help you keep your devices and appliances running during outages, cloudy days, rainy afternoons, and at night.

Brightbox is the Princeton backup storage solution that puts you in control. It can turn on during an outage and will work to recharge until the grid’s restored.

Unlike generators, Brightbox doesn’t run on fossil fuels, which produce carbon monoxide (CO) that’s dangerous for your health.10

Our monthly lease and prepaid plans include 24/7 proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure your system runs smoothly. This benefit sets Brightbox apart from the average Princeton solar battery.
