Why Add Battery Storage

Solar Alone
Has One Limit.

Solar panels generate power during the day. When the sun goes down — or during a grid outage — a battery-only system goes dark. A battery stores your excess daytime production and makes it available exactly when you need it most.

◆
Outage Protection Keep your lights, refrigerator, and critical devices running through any grid outage — automatically.
◆
Peak Rate Avoidance APS, SCE, and PG&E charge 2–3× more during peak hours (4–9pm). Draw from your battery instead.
◆
NEM 3.0 Optimization Under California's NEM 3.0, batteries are now essential to maximizing solar economics. Stores power worth 5× more than export credits.
◆
Whole-Home Backup Two or more batteries can power your entire home indefinitely while the sun is shining.
