Backup power
A battery may keep selected circuits running during an outage. Backup duration depends on battery size and what your home is using.
Solar + storage
More control over when you use energy.
Battery storage can shift when energy is used and may provide backup power. The right design depends on your home, goals, and local utility rules.
What batteries can—and cannot—do
Energy storage
Store some solar production for later instead of using it immediately.
Time-of-use rates
In some areas, storage can help shift usage away from higher-rate periods.
Solar pairing
Solar can recharge a battery over time, depending on system design and sunlight.
Whole-home vs. partial backup
Some systems support essential circuits; others may be designed for broader coverage. No battery powers every appliance indefinitely.
