Now that California’s net metering rules determine the cost of electricity sent to the grid based on peak energy demand times, solar owners have more incentive than ever to install a home battery. These batteries store the energy from your solar panels so you can sell it to the grid at night, which offers the highest price. As a compelling additional function, solar batteries can act like a generator and keep your home powered when outages strike. At Simply Solar, we’re excited to offer California residents the option of a solar battery as part of their solar panel setup, and we want to highlight the best of the best storage solution providers for 2024.
