Sponsored by Sunrun As summer approaches, the weather warms up and the temperatures increase and so does the concern over higher energy bills. But there may be a way to protect you from rising energy rates. Sunrun is helping San Diego residents protect their homes against power outages and rising utility rates by combining solar with a battery. Grant Schaul with Sunrun joins our Laura Cavanaugh to explain how adding a battery to your home will maximize the benefits of solar. A battery allows you to keep harnessing the power of the sun, even when the sun sets. Schaul says solar plus a battery means energy security, ensuring your home is blackout proof. More neighbors are making the switch, with 85% of Sunrun’s new California customers including batteries with their solar. There has never been a better time to invest in adding a battery to solar. It gives you the most control, flexibility and security. To learn more, visit www.sunrun.com or call 888-GO-SOLAR.
