Getting Worse in Texas.

Standalone Battery or Energy + Battery

Both options give you backup power during outages. Solar adds the rate savings. You decide what's right for your home.

Texas Power Outages Are Getting More Frequent

Winter Storm Uri was not a one-time event. ERCOT's own forecasts warn the grid is at risk — and AI data centers are flooding Texas with more demand than the system was ever built to handle.

When the grid goes down — Sunrun battery customers stay on.

During Winter Storm Uri, Sunrun customers with battery backup systems maintained power through the entire event while millions of their neighbors went dark for days. A home battery isn't a luxury — it's preparation.

What is a PPA?

Not a Loan. Not Financing. Just a Better Rate.

A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is the same type of contract you already have with your current electric company — you just pay for electricity. Except with Sunrun, the rate is lower and the power comes from equipment at your home.

Solar Loans Were a Problem

Homeowners took on $30K–$60K in debt. Installers went bankrupt. Equipment underperformed. Payments didn't stop even when the system did. That's not Sunrun.

Solar Without Battery Left Homes Dark

Panels without a battery still shut off during outages — ERCOT requires it to protect grid workers. Solar alone was incomplete. Sunrun pairs generation with backup.

A PPA is Just Switching Providers

Sunrun installs and owns everything. You pay for the electricity it produces at a lower rate. Zero debt. Zero ownership. If it breaks — Sunrun fixes it. Same electricity. Better deal.
