Reliable Home Battery Backup Solutions
Home battery backup solutions
- Whether you’re looking to save on your electricity bills or completely take your home off the grid, the solar + battery install service is a good fit. If you get power from the utility company, batteries paired with solar energy will boost your future energy independence even if you don’t see any initial savings.
- The solar and battery system is the backbone of any off-grid system. Your batteries are what store the energy produced by your solar panels so that you can use them at night or on cloudy days. The size of your battery bank depends on how much electricity you need to store and how long you want your power to last between charges. A good rule of thumb is that you should have enough storage capacity to keep your lights on for three days without sunlight, but if you’re using appliances like a refrigerator, run this number closer to 5 days.
