Battery Storage for Home Solar Systems
To achieve ultimate energy independence, a battery storage system ensures your home has the power it needs under any conditions. Whether you’re looking to be more energy-efficient, or even fully energy-independent, a battery storage system can greatly decrease your dependence on the grid.

New to Battery Storage or Ready to Grow Your System?
There’s no time like the present!
A new state program makes it even more affordable. Starting April 1 & for a limited time, NYSERDA is offering an incentive of $200 per kWh of storage.
That means if you’re getting a battery storage system for the first time or adding to your existing system, you can see significant savings.
For instance: If you add a typical battery storage with 13.5 kWh of capacity to your system, you can receive a NYSERDA incentive of up to $2,700. The bigger your battery storage, the bigger your savings can be.
The incentive is only available for as long as funding allows.
Why Invest in Home Battery Storage?
More Energy, Less Money
-
Reliability
With a Solar Battery Storage System, you receive the energy you need, even when energy isn’t being generated.
A solar battery stores the energy generated by your panels that goes unused, providing a reserve source of power that can be used during inefficient times and power outages, keeping your home powered without needing to rely on grid energy. This means energy can be sustainably and sufficiently delivered to your home at any time, allowing you to reliably meet your energy needs.
-
Convenience
The ability to store excess solar energy to use when you need it most means anything in your home can be powered at any time.
Even inefficient generation and power outages won’t stop you from keeping the lights on and your home heated. This also allows you to direct that surplus energy wherever you need, at any time – a convenient and flexible way to ensure you can always have power when and where it’s needed most.
-
Efficiency
Solar panels constantly generate electricity that goes unused, especially during times of peak performance.
To maximize your energy generation efficiency, solar battery storage systems store this otherwise unused energy, giving you the power to use it when you need it. This means your home can meet its energy needs through the storage and use of surplus energy that otherwise would be wasted.
-
Lower Energy Bills
Solar batteries are a similar investment to solar panels–they’re a high upfront cost that means dramatic long-term savings.
Considering solar battery storage allows you to use excess generated energy at times where you’d need to rely on electricity from the grid, investing in a battery means even lower energy costs per month.
-
Be Ready for the Future
Battery storage helps maximize the potential of solar energy generation without sacrificing efficiency, or your home’s power demands.
With electric vehicles replacing fossil fuel-powered ones in dealerships statewide by 2035, and other similar New York State legislation to encourage sustainable energy, electrical power is poised to become the new normal.
-
Increases Your Home’s Value
Solar battery storage is a long-term investment, but it’s one that pays off in more ways than just lowering your energy bills.
Much like solar panels, a solar battery storage system only increases the value of your home, since the efficiency and money-saving potential of your power generation system is dramatically increased. These long-term savings are something prospective buyers will see as justification to spend more money on a home that already has a solar battery installed.

Our technicians will work with you to create a customized battery storage system that meets the demands of your household.
-
Customizable Efficiency Tracking
In order to manage your energy usage and maximize efficiency, the latest battery storage systems offer a host of monitoring options – many of which can be checked from your smartphone. Like never before, you’ll now have a new view into your home’s energy use, generation rates, and efficiency, all to provide the most accurate picture of your systems. With this data, storage and usage settings can be adjusted to route the right amount of power at the right times to the places it’s needed most.
-
Control Over How Your Home Uses Energy
Taking control over your home’s power a step further, the latest battery storage systems can have easily adjustable settings (typically via a smartphone app). This allows you to change how your system prioritizes and routes power use as you need to. What’s more, modern batteries can be set to support your lifestyle, whether it’s using them strictly as a reliable backup option during an outage or as the main energy source for off-grid living.
-
Staying Ahead of Outages
A main feature of any solar battery storage system is to ensure your home can be powered to some capacity in the event of a power outage. A smart generator of sorts, modern battery storage systems turn on seamlessly when the power goes out – depending on your system, you might not realize an outage has occurred. Those connected to weather-monitoring systems take outage protection to the next level, being even more at the ready to meet a potential outage and keep your home’s vital systems up and running without interruption.
