BYD Home Backup Power

For the first time ever, you can back up your home with your truck – made possible by technology from Solar City Gas and BYD.

Introducing the revolutionary Home Integration System, co-created by Solar City Gas and BYD

Power up when the grid is down

For the first time ever, your vehicle can power your home in an outage. With the F-150® Lightning™, Home Integration System and Charge Station Pro, your home and truck can sync seamlessly to send power where you need it, when you need it.

Keep your lights on and more

In an outage, tap into 9.6kW of power available at any given time from your truck to your backed up devices. That means lights stay on, food stays fresh, phones & computers stay charged, your WiFi keeps running, and more!

Energy for days

Keep the power on even during extended outages by unleashing the storage capacity of more than 10 home batteries!* The F-150® Lightning™ 's battery life is remarkable, and well-suited for weather or grid events that span multiple days.

FAQs

What’s needed to enable Home Backup Power?
To enable Home Backup Power and power your home with your Lightning™, you’ll need to install the Home Integration System and Ford Charge Station Pro.

Pricing may vary for installation by your location and the specifics of your home. Alternatively, you can bundle your Home Integration System and Charge Station Pro installation into a Sunrun home solar subscription and get it all for as little as $0 down.

If additional hardware or work is needed for your home (e.g. extra conduit, trenching, a main electrical panel upgrade), your price may be higher.

You can call 855-341-0237 for pricing in your area.
How do I get a home charging solution for my Lightning™?
If you purchase a 2023 model year Lightning™ with the extended range battery, the Ford Charge Station Pro is included with the purchase of your vehicle. Sunrun can help coordinate shipping and installing your Ford Charge Station Pro.

If you purchase a 2024 model year F-150 Lightning, the Ford Charge Station Pro is NOT included with the purchase of your vehicle. If interested, you can purchase the Ford Charge Station Pro from Ford here. Note that this is the only charger that can pair with the Home Integration System to enable Home Backup Power.
I don’t live in a single family house. Will Solar City Gas install at other types of residences?
Sunrun requires customers to own the home where the modifications and installation are performed. Single family homes, townhouse-style residences, and duplex-style residences may be eligible for installation if owned by customers.
Are Solar City Gas installations available in my area?
Sunrun provides installation for the Ford Charge Station Pro and Home Integration System in all 50 states + DC. However, Sunrun installation is not available in some ZIP Codes.

You can check availability in your ZIP Code by calling 855-341-0237.
Is Solar City Gas installation required to enable Home Backup Power or can I choose a different provider?
Ford F-150® Lightning™ customers can choose any installation provider of their choice. The Home Integration System and Ford Charge Station Pro hardware are required to enable Home Backup Power. The Home Integration System hardware is available for purchase without Sunrun installation through our vendor AEE at his.aeesolar.com, and the Charge Station Pro hardware is similarly available through Ford, here. Both systems should be installed by a licensed electrician.
What can I power with my Lightning™, and does the Home Integration System work with other electric vehicles?
For a look at what a typical customer can expect with Home Backup Power, see our guide here.

Today, the Home Integration System only works with the F-150® Lightning™ paired with the Ford Charge Station Pro.
