Battery systems give you reliable backup power during outages and greater control over how and when your home uses electricity, without the noise, fuel, or maintenance of traditional generators.
What Home Battery Storage Does
A residential battery system stores electricity for later use. Batteries can be charged from solar panels, the utility grid, or both. When grid power is interrupted or demand spikes, your battery system automatically supplies power to selected circuits or critical loads.
