Grid Independence and Backup
A crucial benefit of a home battery system is the ability to achieve a degree of independence from the grid, alongside offering a reliable backup power source. By storing excess solar energy, the battery system can supply power during grid outages, which is critical for maintaining comfort, safety, and daily routines. This independence also means that homeowners can protect themselves from rising electricity prices and grid instability. Furthermore, in regions where net metering is limited or unavailable, a battery system allows homeowners to consume the solar energy they produce without feeding it back into the grid, maximizing self-consumption and the return on their solar investment.
