Be prepared for power shutoffs with a solar and battery backup system
Solar is one of the best ways to take control of your power. With it, you can generate your own clean energy, be ready for outages with your own backup electricity storage, and even reduce your power bill. But your solar system will provide even more benefits when you include battery storage.
When you invest in a solar and battery backup system, you’ll save money by using your stored solar energy when rates are highest. Plus you’ll be ready for rolling blackouts and PG&E grid outages during wildfire season, heatwaves, earthquakes, and other unpredictable events.
East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) has partnered with Sunrun—the leading residential solar provider—to offer home solar and battery backup systems for our customers at pre-negotiated pricing. EBCE customers can receive $500 after installation!
The Resilient Home program makes it easy to see your options for switching to solar energy with a free quote
Resilient Home is a program for homeowners that helps residents maintain power during power outages by providing a financial incentive to include battery storage when you install solar on your home.
This program helps our community by increasing local electricity generation, providing you with backup power in the event of power outages, and creates an energy storage network that will help make the grid more reliable.
