Why do I need both solar panels and a home battery system?

A solar + battery storage system lets you generate and store electricity to use whenever you like, which can provide significant bill savings and protection against outages.

Solar is a great way to lower your electric bill and power your home with renewable energy. The problem is, solar panels produce electricity only when the sun is shining and can often generate more than your home needs. When this happens, any extra energy flows back into the power grid and there's no way to store it to use later.

By installing a solar + battery system, you can make use of this surplus energy, storing it in your battery to use during peak pricing and at night, or to power your home during an outage. Learn more about the benefits of a complete energy system
