HOME ENERGY STORAGE

Store energy for the moments that matter

Battery storage can help you use more of the energy produced at home and prepare selected circuits for an outage. The right design starts with your priorities, your electrical loads and how you want the system to operate.

DESIGN AROUND YOUR HOME

Storage is not one-size-fits-all

A useful storage plan begins with the outcome you want. Some homeowners want to shift solar energy into the evening. Others are focused on keeping essential loads available when the grid is down. Those goals affect battery capacity, power output, controls and the electrical work required.

We can help you compare practical options and understand how storage may fit with an existing or future solar system.

What shapes a storage design

A sound recommendation balances the energy you want available with the power your home may need at any one time.

Your priority loads

Identify the circuits and appliances you would most want available during an outage.

Energy capacity

Consider how much stored energy you may need and how long you expect it to support selected loads.

Power requirements

Account for equipment that starts or runs at higher power, not only total daily energy use.

Solar integration

Plan how the battery, solar array and controls will work together, whether installed now or in stages.

Common storage questions

These are useful starting points. The answer for a particular home depends on its electrical system and the equipment selected.

Can a battery power the whole home during an outage?

That depends on the battery system, the home's electrical loads and how backup circuits are configured. A design may support selected essential loads or a broader set of circuits, subject to equipment and site requirements.

Do I need solar to install battery storage?

Some storage systems can be considered without solar, while others are planned as part of a solar-plus-storage system. The best approach depends on your goals and the compatible equipment.

How is battery size chosen?

Capacity is only one part of sizing. A review should also consider expected outage duration, priority loads, starting power, continuous power and how the battery will be recharged.

Can storage be added to an existing solar system?

It may be possible, depending on the existing equipment, electrical configuration and compatibility with the proposed battery system. The current system should be reviewed before a recommendation is made.
