As California adopts a Time-of-Use (TOU) rate structure, Sunrun BrightBox will provide consumers new ways to manage their energy consumption, allowing homeowners the opportunity to time shift when they use solar energy to minimise paying peak rate energy prices.
Michael Grasso, chief marketing officer of Sunrun, said: “By bringing Sunrun BrightBox to California, we are offering our customers a customized solar plus energy storage solution that provides clean, affordable energy with backup power when you need it. The backup capability ensures you will have several hours of power for important appliances and electronics even when your local electricity grid goes down.”
