We have your backup

Consider the lifetime cost

It's natural to compare the initial cost of a generator to a solar battery. However, a battery system is a long-term investment that offers a new way to manage your home energy, potentially providing value every day, not just during an outage.

The hidden costs of a standby generator

• Fuel dependency: Generators need to be connected to a natural gas line or consistently refueled with propane. 

• Continuous maintenance: They require professional maintenance every few years. This steady stream of expenses adds up to significant hidden costs over the system's lifetime.

The solar battery advantage

• Renewable energy source: Home batteries run on the abundant solar energy your system produces.

• Everyday energy management: Stored solar energy can be used at night when your panels aren't producing. For customers in areas with Time-of-Use (TOU) rates, this stored energy can be used during peak rate hours, helping reduce the amount of energy you use from the grid.

• Minimal maintenance: Batteries require minimal maintenance and when maintenance is necessary, it’s covered by Sunrun for all subscription customers.^*
