Do solar panels work in a blackout?
Solar panels alone won't work during a power outage—but when paired with solar battery storage, they can. See how solar battery storage keeps your solar systems working during an outage with reliable, renewable solar power, and why we need clean energy now more than ever
While solar panels alone do not work during a power outage, when paid with a solar battery storage system would keep your solar panels working during an outage. Sunrun's Brightbox battery storage system will divert excess solar energy your panels create to your battery and backup panel, allowing you to power essential appliances and the most important rooms in your home.
Learn more about Sunrun's Brightbox battery storage system at our kiosk at The Home Depot in Rialto, or call us at 833-394-3388.
Will I still have an electric bill?
Yes, you will still have an electric bill. Your house will still be connected to the electric grid and you will receive a monthly bill from your electric company.
With a Sunrun system, you can expect to see a much lower bill from your local electric company. Also, excess electricity that you send into the grid may earn you credits towards your bill.
What happens when I decide to move?
At Sunrun, our team will be able to help you transfer your contract and pass along low, predictable energy bills to the new owner.
A Sunrun solar system can be a great selling point for your home. The new owner can take advantage of solar incentives like net metering, more predictable electric bills, and clean, renewable energy for their family.
