Battery storage FAQs
How do home solar batteries work?
Your home battery or batteries will allow you to store the electricity your solar energy system produces during the day and use it when you need it most—such as when the electric grid fails due to an extreme weather event or physical damage to grid equipment, or in the evening during the time of use (TOU) peak pricing if that applies in your jurisdiction.
What are the benefits of home solar batteries?
With a home battery system, you’ll get even greater control over your energy and significantly boost your energy independence. You can store power that you produce during the day for use during power outages or after the sun sets. How we suggest you use your battery backup system varies by home; speak with a Sunrun consultant to learn more.
What brands of solar batteries are available?
Will an energy storage system allow me to go off grid?
Our rechargeable solar battery systems are designed to keep you on the grid during normal service times while providing reliable backup power when grid power isn’t available. This is the most reliable and economical way to use your home battery (or batteries).
How much battery storage does my home need?
Like solar power systems, the size of your battery system (how many solar batteries we recommend you get) will depend on your unique energy capacity and backup power needs. Factors such as the amount of electricity you use at home and the devices and appliances you want to back up will play a key role in designing your ideal battery storage system.
Where will my solar battery storage system be placed?
We’ll design a solution that’s right for your home based on a number of factors.
Typical battery placement is on an exterior wall of your home with sufficient space or potentially inside your garage.
Will a solar battery save me money on utility bills?
Depending on factors like where you live and whether you already went solar (and when), your ability to save on utility bills (or even save overall) with a home battery will vary. In many cases, the answer is yes. In other cases, customers are not financially incentivized to use power from their batteries outside of outages, and therefore will not see any energy savings. Speak with a Sunrun representative to learn more about batteries and energy savings.
*Recommended battery operation mode varies by home. Some homes are not incentivized to use stored energy except during outages.
