Battery Storage for Homes With or Without Solar
A home battery gives you a smarter way to manage electricity at home. It stores energy so you can use it later, when your home needs it most. If you already have solar panels, it can help you keep more of the electricity you generate. If you don't have solar, you can still charge a battery from the grid when electricity is cheaper and use that stored energy later.

What is home battery storage?
Store electricity when it's cheapest or sunniest. Use it when you need it.
A home battery stores electricity for later use, powering your home day and night. Whether you already have solar panels or want to start with battery-only installation, you can take control of when you use electricity.
With solar panels
Capture daytime generation and use it after dark, reducing reliance on the grid
Without solar (battery-only)
Charge from the grid at off-peak times and use during peak periods
Backup protection
Some systems can provide power during outages (design-dependent)
