Why join the program?
Backup safety guaranteed
We prioritize your peace of mind. Your battery will never discharge below the level required to keep your home protected².
Zero effort
No buttons to push or schedules to manage. We handle the optimization so you can focus on the benefits.
Community impact
By participating in the program, you can share your stored energy with the grid during times of high demand.
What happens to your battery on a high demand day
The signal
When energy demand in Texas is high, Reliant and Sunrun activate the Texas GridReady network to create a Distributed Power Plant. You don't need to do a thing; the system handles the technology for you.
Smart sharing
Your battery will seamlessly discharge a portion of its stored energy to the electric grid.
Your home stays powered
The system is programmed to power your home first. Only the excess energy is shared with the grid.
Automatic reset
Once the event is over, your battery returns to its normal daily routine, charging back up from your solar panels.

What about outages?

Eligibility
*Up to $150, with a credit on your Reliant electricity bill.

FAQs
When and how will I receive my reward?
The method and timing depend on whether you own your system or have a third-party ownership (TPO) agreement:
System Owners: A $200 digital reward card sent via email after your first 30 days of enrollment, and then annually for up to 5 years.
Monthly Lease/PPA Customers: A $20 monthly bill credit on your Sunrun bill for each month you remain enrolled.
How does this program differ from how my battery performs regularly?
Sunrun may remotely manage your battery during "Program Events" (up to 30 times per year for 2 hours each). During these events, your regular settings are overridden to support the grid, though the system always reserves 20% capacity for your home’s backup needs. Your battery returns to normal behavior automatically after each event.
Can I opt out at any time?
Yes. You can opt out at any time by emailing grid@sunrun.com. Note that unrolling will immediately end your eligibility for further incentives.
Where can I view the terms and conditions?
You can view terms and conditions here and here.
