Your Guide to Home Battery Backup Systems

Is home battery backup right for you? If you’re dealing with high energy bills, or are worried about the impacts of long outages this summer, then battery backup is the right choice for you. With whole home battery backup enabled on your home, you can store power from your solar system and leverage it to protect you from high rates or extended outages. Home battery backup offers better performance and greater control over your energy needs - all from your mobile device!

Shield Your Home from Outages

Automatic Power Switching is a feature of modern home battery backup systems designed for your peace of mind. In the event of an outage in your area, the system will automatically detect the interruption of service and rapidly switch to backup mode. Now, as the lights go out across the neighborhood, your home will remain powered by the energy you stored in the system throughout the day.

Outages can be a headache, but they can also be an emergency for those who rely on power for critical applications like access to clean water or medical equipment. With home battery backup systems, outages can be a thing of the past.

Hands On System Control

You don’t need to be an electrical engineer to operate your home battery backup system. On the contrary - the entire system can be controlled from your phone! By downloading a simple to use mobile app, you can monitor the status and operation of your system from anywhere. You can make adjustments to energy consumption in real time, and efficiently manage your power for maximum returns. It’s the power of the sun, in the palm of your hand.

Peak Efficiency

One of the most impactful elements of a home battery backup system comes from how you charge and discharge your power. For those looking to achieve peak efficiency, there is a lot of strategy involved in when and how you manage your energy loads, and you can get really granular about charging when rates are low and then powering your home or discharging to the system when prices are high.

For those looking to enjoy these benefits without becoming master tinkerers, your solar partner can help you program the system to perform these adjustments automatically, so you can enjoy the benefits of your investment. After all, it’s about working smarter, not harder.
