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

When the sun is out, Brightbox can store clean and affordable back-up power for later use.
Brightbox is the Rio Rancho 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.11

Our Brightbox monthly lease and prepaid plans include 24/7 proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure your system runs smoothly. This benefit sets it apart from other solar batteries in Rio Rancho.
