SMA is committed to building on its reliable Sunny Boy-US line of inverters and developing the best possible technology for the residential market, which continues to be an essential component of the U.S. solar industry. We look forward to providing everything from smart inverters to home energy management and residential storage solutions for Sunrun and its customers.”

Lynn Jurich, Sunrun chief executive officer and co-founder, added: “Residential solar and storage will increasingly become a key contributor to America's future energy system. As households adopt our Brightbox home battery service, we want to ensure they are enabled with the industry-leading and smart technology.
