With a solar + battery solution installed in your home, the excess energy from the sun charges your battery for nighttime use. In the morning, when the sun starts to shine, your solar system energy powers the home’s electrical devices first. As the sun rises in the afternoon, your home will consume less energy than your solar PV system produces. This excess energy is stored within the solar battery for later in day or nighttime use when solar energy production decreases.
Solar battery storage systems offer numerous advantages to residential areas:
Additionally, consider adding a Smart SPAN Panel to improve the flexibility of your solar battery storage during an outage.
The installation of solar battery storage is eligible for a tax credit, just like your solar PV system. The federal Investment Tax Credit can cover 30% of battery storage and solar PV system costs. The tax credit can apply if you install solar + battery system together or install the solar battery storage on an existing solar system.

Solar batteries, with a potential lifespan of up to 15 years, are becoming more durable and long-lasting as technology has significantly improved. Battery lifespan can depend on the kind of battery, capacity, how often it is used, placement, and minimal maintenance. To maximize their lifespan, it is recommended to choose high-quality batteries, avoid over-draining, and perform basic maintenance like dusting and ensuring a dry environment. Following these practices ensures optimal performance and longevity for your solar battery.
