Enjoy a Self-Powered HomeBatteries dramatically expand the effectiveness of a solar energy system by allowing you to store and use your solar electricity around the clock - not just when the sun is out. By adding batteries, more of your home's overall electricity use if fulfilled by your solar array, further reducing your utility bill while shrinking your carbon footprint.
Most residential battery systems fall into two basic categories: backup loads and whole home backup. The first category requires dramatically less capacity and generally costs less than a home sophisticated grid system.
With a whole home backup system, you can add just enough batteries to offset the most expensive on-peak utility hours, or add more to keep your house operational during an extended power outage. These types of systems are highly customized and unique to each family and utility rate plan. In some cases, an upgrade to your electrical panel may also be required. Our experts will advise during the free consultation phase.
Power outages will occur with greater frequency as our national energy grid continues to age. Much simpler than a whole home system, a battery backup system will run your most critical loads – or a designated room – during a grid failure when your solar panels aren't producing. Batteries are charged by your panels during the day for use during the night. This process repeats until grid power is restored.
