    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of solar batteries does Switch2Solar use?

    Switch2Solar offers two lithium-ion solar battery storage options. Compared to lead-acid batteries, solar batteries using lithium-ion technology are more efficient and have longer lifespans. This makes them one of the best energy storage options when going solar.

    Are there solar storage incentives available?

    One of the best solar storage incentives is the Federal Solar Tax Credit. The Federal Solar Tax Credit will deduct 26% of the cost of your solar energy system from your federal taxes. Starting in 2021, the value of the tax credit will step down to 22%. After 2021, the tax credit for residential solar ends.

    Another option is to finance Brightbox with a lease. We’ll pass down the savings to you in the form of a lower and more predictable electric bill.

    Net metering, which credits any excess power your solar system generates back to your electric bill, is another great incentive for many people that go solar. However, several states have chosen to adopt Time-of-Use (TOU) rates, which complicate the way your net metering credits are calculated. Brightbox can buffer you from peak TOU rates so you may save even more on your electric bill.

    Will my Switch2Solar battery allow me to go off grid?

    Our rechargeable solar battery systems are designed to keep you on-grid during normal service times while still providing reliable backup when the sun isn’t shining or during the event of an outage. This is the most reliable and economical way to use your Switch2Solar system, and the one most strongly recommended by Switch2Solar’s service experts.

    How much storage does my home need?

    Just like solar-only systems, the size of your rechargeable solar battery system is determined by your unique energy needs and habits. Factors, such as the amount of electricity you use at home and the devices and appliances you want to back up, will play a key role as you select the right battery storage solution for you. Switch2Sol can perform an energy Audit of your home to determine the exact requirements of your home.  As part of the audit we can recommend solutions to reduce your energy demand and reduce the size and cost of a Solar array and battery storage. Call us to day to schedule an appointment to audit your homes energy requirements.

    Do I need solar panels to use Switch2Solar?

    Aside from very rare exceptions, Sunrun’s Switch2Solar service includes rooftop solar panels.

    Where will my Switch2Solar battery be placed?

    The installation of Switch2Solar is a relatively simple process. It’s about the size of a water heater, and the system is mounted on a wall—usually inside your garage or outside of your home. some jurisdictions have code restrictions on the location of battery storage units.  We will work within the code requirements to find a location that works for you.

    Is my Switch2Solar battery an IoT (internet of things) device?

    While Switch2Solar requires an Internet or cellular connection to monitor your energy storage and usage efficiently, it can still operate without it. If for some reason Switch2Solar happens to go offline, you can resume your usage tracking when your internet connection is back to normal.

    Do I need to do any setup or maintenance to Switch2Solar?

    Most residential batteries are installed and configured with baseline settings by your solar installer. Solar batteries last anywhere between 10 and 15 years, and manufacturers typically offer a 10-year warranty.

    How does Switch2Solar work?

    Switch2Solar allows you to store the electricity your solar energy system produces during the day and use it when you need it most—such as in the evening during time of use (TOU) peak pricing or when the electric grid fails due to an extreme weather event or physical damage to the equipment.

    What is Switch2Solar?

    Switch2Solar is a holistic solar battery storage service that offers you clean, safe, reliable, back-up power to have better control over your home energy use and cost.
