KNOW MORE ABOUT ENERGY STORAGE
Like solar-only systems, the size of your battery system will depend on your unique battery capacity needs. Factors such as the amount of electricity you use at home and the devices and appliances you want to back up will play a key role in selecting your ideal battery storage capacity.
Your home battery or batteries will allow you to store the electricity your solar energy system produces during the day and use it when you need it most—such as in the evening during the time of use (TOU) peak pricing or when the electric grid fails due to an extreme weather event or physical damage to the equipment. (See below for more information on TOU peak pricing and whether it applies to your jurisdiction).
Home battery is a relatively easy installation. Each battery is about size of a water heater, and the battery system is mounted on a wall—typically next to your electrical panel inside your garage or outside your home.
Solar panels can last anywhere between 25 to 30 years, sometimes more. This doesn’t mean that the panels on your roof will stop producing electricity after a couple of decades. It just means their energy production will decrease by what solar panel manufacturers consider optimal to meet the average household’s energy needs. With proper care and maintenance, you can expect to receive significant solar benefits for the next 20 to 30 years.
A lot of things affect how well-suited your home is for solar, including where your home is, the angle of your roof, how much shade it gets throughout the day, and how old your home is.
Our solar advisors can help you determine if your home is a good fit for solar at the moment. They’ll run a custom analysis of your home with our proprietary solar design technology, BrightPath,™ and they’ll get a sense for your energy needs.
When you sign up for a free quote, our in-house Solar Advisors will work with you to determine how much you can expect to save on your monthly energy bill. This relies on factors like your utility, how much electricity you use and how much sunlight your home gets. We’ll only recommend solar if it’s the right fit for your home energy needs and profile.
