Add a Storage Battery for Even More Energy Independence
Storage Batteries offer both homeowners and commercial business owners many benefits to assure continuous availability of electric power.
Did you know that your solar system shuts off when the grid goes down. During power outages, the utility grid mandates solar systems to turn off. This prevents the ability of your solar system to feed power to the grid and to your home/business. A solar storage battery system can automatically isolate your solar system from the grid and will keep your family
A storage battery also provides the following benefits:
- Reduce Peak Charges - even if you don't have solar power, a storage battery allows you to store energy when the rates are lower and then use that energy to avoid higher rates during peak periods.
- Off Grid Living - With the right Solar Power system combined with a properly engineered Storage Battery system, you can live completely off the grid, independent of your local utility
- Zero Grid Export - Depending on your utility, the reimbursement for power sold back to the grid may not offset the cost of power purchased from the grid. It is often advantageous to store that power for self-consumption.
- Reduce Demand Charges - Storage batteries can store energy during off-peak energy periods, then discharge it when rates are highest, reducing your total power cost.
