Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Residential Battery Storage Installation

A residential battery storage system is a solution that stores electricity for later use. It typically works by capturing energy from solar panels during the day and storing it in a battery. This energy can then be used at night or during power outages. If you don’t have solar panels, the system can store electricity from the grid during off-peak hours when energy costs are lower.

There are several benefits to installing a residential battery storage system:

Energy Independence: Reduce your reliance on the grid by storing your own energy.

Backup Power: Keep your home powered during a power outage or emergency.

Lower Energy Bills: Store energy during low-cost hours (e.g., off-peak) and use it when rates are higher.

Maximize Solar Investment: Store excess solar energy for use at night or on cloudy days.

Sustainability: Reduce your carbon footprint by relying on renewable energy sources.

The need for a battery storage system depends on several factors, including:

• Your energy consumption patterns (e.g., how much electricity you use and when).
• Whether you have an existing solar power system or plan to install one.
• Your desire to reduce energy costs and become more energy-independent.
• Whether you experience frequent power outages or live in an area prone to outages.

We recommend scheduling a site assessment with our team to evaluate your needs and determine the best system for your home.

The installation process generally involves the following steps:

1. Consultation and Site Assessment: We review your energy usage and determine the best battery storage solution for your needs.
2. System Design: Our team customizes a design based on your energy consumption, available space, and any existing solar system.
3. Permitting and Approvals: We handle all necessary permits and regulatory requirements.
4. Installation: Our certified electricians install the system, including the battery, inverter, and wiring to your electrical panel.
5. Testing and Configuration: We ensure the system is working optimally and configure it for efficient energy management.
6. Client Walkthrough and Training: We show you how to monitor and manage your system.

The cost of a residential battery storage system varies depending on:

• The size of the system (measured in kilowatt-hours or kWh).
• Whether you have an existing solar power system or need to install one.
• The complexity of the installation and any additional electrical upgrades required.
• The brand and technology of the battery system.

During the consultation, we’ll provide a detailed estimate based on your specific needs and energy goals. We also offer financing options to make the investment more affordable.
