San Francisco-headquartered Sunrun<\/a>, the largest residential solar and battery storage installer in the US, yesterday posted on social media that its transition to electric fleet vehicles is under way with a photo of Sunrun-branded Ford F-150 Lightnings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sunrun has a target of transitioning half of\u00a0its vehicle fleet to electric or hybrid by the end of 2025. It\u2019s also Ford\u2019s official charging partner. So it\u2019s not a surprise that solar giant Sunrun got their hands on some sweet new F-150 Lightnings to build up its electrified fleet. The company spokespeople didn\u2019t say how many Lightnings they have, however, or where in the US they\u2019re being deployed.<\/p>\n

As Sunrun explains in its updated 2021 Impact Report<\/a>, the solar and storage company has also partnered with Ford to enable Sunrun customers to use their Lightnings as a backup energy source to power their homes when needed. <\/p>\n

Sunrun is the preferred installer of Ford Intelligent Backup Power, which consists of the 80-amp Ford Charge Station Pro and Home Integration system, which the two companies designed and developed together. <\/p>\n

When the Lightning is connected to the bidirectional Ford Charge Station Pro<\/a>, the home charging station can either charge the truck or power the home, assuming the home is properly equipped and the home transfer switch disconnects the home from the grid.<\/p>\n

In October, Electrek<\/em> reported<\/a> that Sunrun also launched a Level 2 home EV charger with Enel X Way, the Enel Group\u2019s global electric mobility business. <\/p>\n
