What Is a Home Battery?
A home battery is quite a bit different from the AAA-size cells that you occasionally need to change out in your television remote or your kids’ toys. Home batteries are based on lithium-ion technology, making them more closely aligned to the battery pack you might find in your smartphone. However, arguably the closest comparison would be the battery pack you might find in an electric car, be it a plug-in hybrid or a full-electric model.
Home batteries are extremely large and offer a ton of storage capacity. How much capacity is ultimately up to you and your power needs? Our technicians are happy to work with you to determine the ideal battery backup system configuration.
What Can a Home Battery Do?
Home batteries offer immense flexibility with why and how they are used. One of the most common uses for a home battery is to provide a limited supply of backup power for outages. Unlike generators, which are noisy and require fuel in the form of either gasoline, propane, or natural gas, battery backup systems simply charge while the main power grid is up and then discharge it when you need it.
Home battery systems are often also used in conjunction with solar energy systems to provide a way to hold on to power that your panels generate but that you don’t necessarily need at that moment. By storing this power for later, you can use it when the sun goes down, on days where inclement weather prevents optimal power generation, or even to cover the gap between panel production and usage across your property. In this way, a home battery system helps further reduce your dependence on grid power, saving you even more money by keeping your utility bills even lower.

What Do I Need to Do to Install a Home Battery System?
Every home battery installation is going to be unique and depend heavily on your existing electrical infrastructure in addition to any other additions you may be making at the same time (such as adding an EV charger or solar energy system).
It is not uncommon to need to make significant modifications to your electrical panel to accommodate a battery backup system, and many older homes may simply want to completely replace their electrical panel with one that is built to utilize a home battery. Likewise, if you wish to use your battery system for emergency power, you will also want to install a transfer switch, which disconnects your property from the electrical grid during an outage so you can safely switch over to battery power. Finally, you may also need to add additional wiring or circuits to accommodate features like additional circuits, solar energy, and more. Talk to our team about your goals and we’ll help you design the perfect home energy solution that utilizes a battery backup system exactly the way you would like to.
