Brightbox is the Demarest back-up energy storage solution that puts you in control. It can turn on during an outage and will work to recharge until the grid's restored.

All monthly plans include 24/7 proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure your system works smoothly. This perk sets Brightbox apart from the average Demarest solar battery.
