Dispatchable distributed power plants for utilities seeking flexible capacity and targeted grid reliability.
Utilities and grid operators face rising demand and slow timelines for conventional generation and transmission capacity. Sunrun aggregates networked home solar and battery storage and dispatches energy to meet peak demand and relieve stressed local grid infrastructure.
Unlike traditional virtual power plants focused on managing or shifting load, Sunrun's distributed power plants can export stored energy to the grid while supporting customer backup needs. The service combines resource aggregation, forecasting, dispatch, settlement, and customer engagement for utility programs.
