why solar batteries?
A home solar battery backup can help you reduce your impact on the planet, cut down on your energy bills, take control of your home’s energy and prepare you for power outages.
The cost of electricity has been on the rise for a while and all indications are that trend is going to continue. It makes sense to want to invest in a solar panel system that can help fight those rising costs. But when that investment means the energy you generate reduces carbon emissions that are polluting the planet? That’s a home run.
Putting solar panels on your roof means that you can produce clean solar energy for your home, but having a battery attached to your solar energy system means you are in control of it as well.
You can store any extra energy you generate in your solar battery and use it when it’s most valuable to you. You can control when you use your energy with apps that maximize the value of your system. And you can use your battery to help power through power outages.*
In fact, one of the top reasons homeowners decide on a home battery backup system is peace of mind. Knowing that your home is protected from outages helps you rest easy, no matter what life hands you. Think of it as insurance for your home’s energy.
The benefits of a home battery backup are clear. It’s a key part of taking control of your home’s energy. Solar batteries are a great investment in your home’s energy independence and resilience. With solar battery storage:
- You can store energy produced during peak daylight hours and use it to help power your home throughout the night.
- You can control when you use power from the grid, which is a great way to protect against the rising costs of peak-hour electricity pricing.
- You can keep parts of your home powered through natural disasters and other types of blackouts*.
- You can take advantage of solar incentives like the 30% solar tax credit**.The solar tax credit extends its benefits to solar backup batteries, opening up a ray of potential savings. And depending on where you live, there might be other local incentives.
