Solar batteries connect directly to the power grid. Rather than creating electricity, they store energy from your solar system. During a power outage, the battery automatically disconnects from the power grid, creating a self-sustaining, personal grid that powers appliances throughout the home with stored energy.

For most homes, electricity from a single battery will not fully power your whole home. Many homes have high energy consumption appliances (such as a dishwasher, dryer, A/C) that would require more electricity than is provided from one battery. When we install a battery, we will map your battery to your critical loads - your most needed lights and appliances - so you will be able to get power to those when needed.

Your solar and battery system is grid-connected when the power is up and running. During a power outage, the battery will take over to temporarily run a select number of appliances but as soon as the utility restores power, your home is grid-connected once again.
