New solar options mean greater energy freedom

Floridians can now choose solar-as-a-service to power their homes, thanks to a ruling from the Public Service Commission.

Sunrun, the nation’s largest residential solar, storage and energy company, began offering solar-as-a-service along with its Brightbox home battery in Tampa Bay and Orlando on June 7, with plans to expand into the rest of Florida shortly.

Unlike a generator, Brightbox is recharged daily by the sun, reliably delivering clean electricity. This home battery system replaces noisy natural gas or diesel generators commonly used for backup power. For more information, visit Sunrun’s plans and services page.
