Solar + Brightbox™
Add Brightbox, Sunrun’s battery storage service, to your solar installation in Burlington. This can help keep your devices and appliances powered during outages, cloudy days, rainy afternoons, and at night.
From 2008 to 2017, Vermont power outages left hundreds of thousands of residents in the dark for longer periods compared to other states.1
As extreme weather events continue to affect the aging U.S. power grid, blackouts threaten to be more frequent and longer-lasting.9
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 Burlington 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.10
You can monitor your Burlington solar energy production and storage daily with the online dashboard and mobile app.
All monthly plans include proactive monitoring and maintenance to ensure your system works smoothly. This unique perk sets Brightbox apart from the average solar battery in Burlington.
