Solar + Brightbox™

Add Brightbox, Sunrun’s battery storage service, to your solar installation in Brea. This can help keep you powered during outages, cloudy days, rainy afternoons, at night, or when Time-of-Use (TOU) rates spike.9

Utility neglect and climate change have transformed California’s wildfire season and related outages into a longer and tougher battle each year.

To keep communities and the power grid safe, electric companies are rolling out Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). PSPS can leave homes without electricity for hours or days at a time.

Brightbox can help you back up your entire home with a Tesla Powerwall, or you can back up just the rooms you need with an LG Chem solar battery.**

When the sun is out, Brightbox can store clean and affordable backup power for later use.

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

No fuel, no fumes, no noise, no hassle. Brightbox is a superior backup energy solution compared to loud and dirty generators.

You can monitor your Brea solar power production and storage daily with the online dashboard and mobile app.

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