A home battery stores excess energy from your solar panels or the grid, allowing you to use it later—especially during peak times or outages. It helps reduce your energy bills and reliance on the grid.
Costs typically range from $800 to $1200 per kWh, depending on system size and installation complexity.
Most modern systems are compatible, but older setups may need upgrades. 👉 Unsure about compatibility? Contact our team for a free assessment.
Yes, especially during off-peak hours. This can help reduce your electricity bills further.
A 10–13kWh battery can last 1–2 hours under normal use, or up to 16 hours if powering only essential appliances. 👉 Need backup for longer outages? Talk to our experts.
We assess your historical energy usage, solar generation (if applicable), and peak demand patterns. Our team uses load profiling tools and considers future usage changes (e.g., EV charging) to recommend the right capacity.
Most lithium-ion batteries offer 85–95% round-trip efficiency. This means for every 10kWh stored, 8.5–9.5kWh is usable.
Yes. We can program batteries to charge during off-peak hours and discharge during peak pricing periods, maximizing savings.
We offer both. Hybrid inverters integrate solar and battery control, while AC-coupled systems are ideal for retrofits. 👉 Need help choosing between hybrid and AC-coupled? Speak to our technical team.
