Solar + Brightbox™

With Brightbox, Sunrun's battery storage service, your solar installation in Hawaii can help keep your devices and appliances running during cloudy days, rainy afternoons, or at night.

Hawaii's electric utility rates are the highest in the U.S.²

With a Brightbox home battery system in Hawaii, electricity is as local as you can get.

Brightbox with a Tesla Powerwall can help you back up your entire home, or you can back up just the rooms you need with an LG Chem solar battery.*

When the sun is out, Brightbox can store clean and affordable back-up power for later use.

Brightbox can turn on at night. This is the Hawaii battery storage solution that puts you in control of your energy usage.

Unlike generators, Brightbox doesn’t run on fossil fuels, which produce carbon monoxide (CO) that's dangerous for your health.⁸
