Power When You Need It. Control You Can Count On.
Why Add a Battery?
Going solar saves money — but adding a battery unlocks something even more powerful: independence.
A solar battery stores extra energy your panels produce during the day, so you can use it:
- At night (instead of pulling from the grid)
- During power outages (your lights and essentials stay on)
- When utility rates spike (you avoid time-of-use charges)
You get energy on demand, even when the grid is down.
How It Works
- Panels generate power during daylight
- Home uses solar energy first
- Excess energy is stored in the battery
- At night or during outages, your battery kicks in automatically
🔌 No switches to flip. You stay powered up — seamlessly.
Who Really Benefits from a Battery?
🛡️ Homes in outage-prone areas (storms, wildfires, rolling blackouts)
🌙 Those who want night-time energy independence
💰 Customers facing peak-hour utility surcharges
🧑⚕️ Households with essential medical equipment
CPAP machines, oxygen tanks, refrigerated meds — battery backup can be life-critical
🏡 Off-grid homes or cabinsEven if you don’t need backup today, batteries future-proof your home for grid instability and rate hikes.
System Components
☀️ Solar Panels: Generate clean electricity
🔋 Battery Unit (e.g. Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, FranklinWH): Stores excess power
⚙️ Smart Inverter + Controller: Distributes power efficiently
📲 App Monitoring: Track production, usage, and battery charge in real-time
What’s the Cost?
| Battery Size | Est. Installed Cost | With 30% Tax Credit |
| 10–13 kWh | $10,000 – $16,000 | $7,000 – $11,200 |
💡 Exact cost depends on battery brand, local labor, and whether it’s bundled with a solar install. Some states offer extra battery rebates.
Do You Still Get Net Metering?
Yes. Battery systems still connect to the grid and benefit from net metering. You can:
- Store your own power
- Or export it to the grid for credits
- Or blend both in a smart, automated way
We’ll configure your setup based on your goals (savings, backup, or both).
Is Solar + Battery Right for You?
- You want reliable power during outages
- You rely on electricity for health or safety
- You want to reduce night-time or peak-hour charges
