Home solar + storage

A day with a Sunrun system

Solar and storage shouldn't change your habits—they should give you the power to live the way you want. Instead of your lifestyle adapting to your energy, your energy adapts to you. And with the Sunrun app you get insights into it all.

6:00 AM

Rise and shine with solar

You and your panels wake up with the sun, ready to turn those rays into power for your home. As the sun rises your home switches from using grid energy to solar energy.

12:00 PM

Powering your day

Your panels continue to generate energy from the sun to power your home and save any extra solar energy in your battery for later. You’ll draw supplemental energy from the utility only as needed, ensuring you have seamless, reliable power.

5:00 PM

Evening encore with battery

As the sun sets, you use more power, but your panels produce less (and those peak rates kick in). No problem, your battery's got you covered with stored solar energy and you have grid energy available when you need it.

9:00 PM

Nighttime peace of mind

When you turn in for the night, your home likely draws from the grid, preserving your stored solar energy for when you need it most. You can sleep soundly knowing that if the lights go out, your battery backup will instantly kick in.

From energy consumer to energy producer

With that shift comes more energy freedom, predictability, and control than ever before

Improved energy control

Your home now produces and stores energy, giving you more visibility on energy habits through the Sunrun app. With 24/7 monitoring, you can check the app for system insights as little or as often as you like.

Home outage protection

During a blackout, your home becomes self-sufficient. Your battery powers essentials while your panels recharge it during the day. The combination of solar + battery keeps your lights on even when the grid is down.

Earn rewards with your battery

By exporting extra energy from your battery during times of peak demand, you can help support your community and receive credits from Sunrun for your participation.

Potential bill savings

Everyone’s solar and battery setup is unique, but by producing solar at a rate often more affordable than the utility and using stored power during peak hours, there’s a chance you’ll be able to save on your total home energy costs.

Simple adjustments for smarter living

While there are some slight adjustments to your routine, they’re designed to put the power back in your hands

Two bills, total energy control

Once your system is live, you’ll see two statements: a predictable Sunrun bill for your solar and battery and a smaller utility bill for grid connection and extra power. This setup ensures you have solar you can count on and grid power when you need it.

High tech, hassle-free

One big change is having solar equipment on your home. These panels and batteries transform how you experience energy. With a Sunrun subscription, we handle 24/7 monitoring and maintenance so you can enjoy the power while we do the heavy lifting.
