For PG&E, SDGE, SCE Homeowners
Installed and Maintained by Sunrun
25-Year Equipment Coverage
No Property Liens
In many areas, utility supply and delivery costs
have increased significantly, making it harder for
homeowners to plan their monthly expenses.
Why Some Homeowners Are Taking a Closer Look
For many homeowners, the problem is not just high bills β itβs that those bills keep rising and are getting harder to control.
Monthly bills can fluctuate without warning
Utility supply and delivery charges continue rising
Power outages and grid reliability concerns are becoming more common
This program is designed to help address those exact problems.
By pairing home battery storage with a structured energy payment model, some homeowners are
choosing a more predictable way to manage energy costs while adding backup power protection at home.
How the Process Works
Follow these steps to get started.
Step 1
Complete a quick eligibility check
You submit basic property and contact details for a quick review of service area, home type, and qualification factors.
Step 2
Review your options if your home qualifies
If your home qualifies, we'll present available system and payment options so you can choose what fits best.
Step 3
Installation and setup are handled by the provider
A qualified team will install and configure your system, handling permits, interconnection, and setup.
PG&E, SDGE, SCE and Sunrun Residential Battery-Powered Virtual Power Plant
PG&E and Sunrun partnered to demonstrate how aggregated home battery systems
can support grid reliabilitywhile providing benefits to participating homeowners.
Eligible Sunrun residential batteries are enrolled in a virtual power plant
(VPP), allowing their stored energy to be coordinated during grid events to reduce peak demand and enhance system resilience.
The program operates by aggregating capacity from enrolled Sunrun home batteries into a
centrally managed VPP that can be dispatched to meet local grid needs. During grid reliability events,
Sunrun coordinates with PG&E to dispatch stored energy from participating systems;
homeowners retain backup power for their homes and may receive program incentives subject
to eligibility and program terms.

Why a 3.5% Adjustment Make Sense
The program includes an approximate 3.5% annual adjustment. Many homeowners
prefer a known, scheduled change over unpredictable utility increases that can be higher and come with little notice.
No surprise jumps
While utility rates can change unpredictably, this program is
structured around a clear, scheduled adjustment.
Clear expectations
For many homeowners, predictability matters more than
trying to guess where future utility rates will go.
Why Predictability Matters
Traditional utility pricing can change over time with limited visibility into future increases.
This program uses a contr payment structure with an approximate annual adjustment, which may give
qualified homeowners more clarity and fewer surprises when planning long-term energy costs.
