Add Brightbox, Sunrun's battery storage service, to your solar installation in Boston. This can help keep your devices and appliances running during outages, cloudy days, rainy afternoons, or at night.
From 2008 to 2017, Massachusetts endured 823 power outages.1
Severe storms and outages are hard to predict, but with Brightbox, you can be better prepared for any scenario at any 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 back-up power for later use.
Brightbox is the Boston back-up 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.9
You can monitor your Boston solar power production and storage daily with the online dashboard and mobile app.
Our monthly lease and prepaid lease plans include proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure your system works smoothly. This benefit sets Brightbox apart from other solar batteries in Boston.
