How Battery Storage Works
Energy that’s ready to use when you need it most.
Battery storage is a reliable and intelligent source of backup power when your power grid is down. When coupled with solar, the solar panels on the roof will first recharge the battery, then send power to the home. This ensures the battery is reliable and fully charged, so it can power your home even during an extended outage.
Eliminate your need for gas powered generators (plus the fuel costs and maintenance), and introduce smart energy management into your home instead. Battery storage can also qualify for the 30% Tax Credit (ITC).
Our Process
Battery storage that makes sense for you.
We work together to ensure the optimal choice for your specific home. There are a range of battery sizes available and the selection is made based on how much power you require for critical loads in the event of a grid outage.

Battery Pricing & Incentives
Safety, reliability and savings.
As of August 22, 2023, a home battery is eligible for the 30% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. This means that 30% of the battery cost is eligible for a dollar for dollar tax credit.
As a solar plus storage arrangement or a retrofit, battery storage can be installed for $0 down through competitive solar loan programs. When combined with solar, the $0 down investment can show substantial cost savings.
Frequently asked questions about battery storage
How much can I power with my battery?
How much your battery can power in your home depends on both the kWh capacity of the battery unit and the ampacity of the appliances you are supporting. The battery units range in size and can also be “stackable,” allowing you to connect multiple batteries together at one time for more ampacity.
For example, the Panasonic home battery system offers a 20 kWh unit that is stackable up to 80 kWh on one smart box.
In your home, a 100-watt appliance running for 10 hours will use 1 kWh (1,000 watt hours). The good news for solar batteries is that they can recharge while the sun is shining, allowing you to have backup power indefinitely. A best practice is to engineer a system size that allows you to power the primary loads in your home for 72 hours without the solar modules seeing sunshine.
Expect to identify primary loads in the home for the battery to power during an outage. A refrigerator, lights, well pump, computer, phone, TV, microwave, sump pump, and electric range operating during normal daily conditions will collectively use just over 15 kWh in a day.
Can I get the 30% tax credit for my batteries?
Yes, battery storage is eligible for the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and this applies to both stand alone battery storage and solar plus storage.
Can I install battery storage without solar?
Yes, you can install batteries without solar but they will be limited to their rated capacity without an ability to recharge. Stand alone battery storage without solar will get its initial charge from the grid.
In an area where a traditional gas generator is not possible due to unavailable natural gas connections, battery storage can be a good option. Just be sure that you are installing a large enough battery unit or units to meet your needs and are comfortable with the fact that the battery will not recharge.
How much does battery storage cost?
Like solar, the cost of battery storage can vary based on how much energy storage is needed. Batteries are scalable, meaning you can add just one for smaller applications or several for a larger use case. On average, expect the net cost of a battery system to cost under $15,000 with The Storage Tax Credit (ITC).
This brings the net cost to a price comparable to a traditional whole home generator. Some considerations when comparing the cost of battery storage to traditional generators are the fuel cost needed to operate the generator as well as the yearly motor maintenance which may be required. Battery projects are eligible for financing. Many of our customers can have a solar plus battery storage system installed for no money down.
