Sunrun and Tesla are teaming with Renew Home to convert residential solar‑battery systems into a new grid tier.

The trio plans to tap the latent capacity of hundreds of thousands of home batteries and 8 million smart thermostats, turning US households into a distributed power plant network.

By leveraging existing infrastructure, the partnership could accelerate the US’s push for more capacity without building new plants, easing supply chain backlogs and meeting rising demand.

The move places Sunrun and Tesla at the forefront of a shift toward decentralized energy, positioning them to capture a growing share of the grid‑services market.
