Solar Battery Storage
If you want to get the most out of your investment in solar, you need a battery. Store the energy your panels generate during the day for use anytime—even at night or during a power outage.
Benefits of Battery Storage
Solar batteries are more important than ever in California. Here's why homeowners and businesses are adding storage.
Blackout Protection
Keep your lights, appliances, and essential devices running when the grid goes down.
Electric Bill Savings
Store excess solar power and use it during peak hours when electricity rates are highest.
Power After Dark
Use your stored solar energy at night instead of drawing from the grid.
Energy Independence
Reduce your reliance on PG&E and take control of your own power supply.
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Use more clean, renewable solar energy and less grid power from fossil fuels.
Maximize Solar Investment
Store every kilowatt your panels produce instead of sending excess back to the grid.
Long-Lasting Performance
Modern lithium batteries last 10-15+ years with minimal degradation.

We specialize in battery storage and have installed hundreds of systems on the North Coast.
How Solar Batteries Work
1. Panels Generate Power
During the day, your solar panels produce electricity—often more than you're using.
2. Excess Energy Stored
Instead of sending excess power to the grid, it's stored in your battery for later.
3. Use Power Anytime
At night or during an outage, your home draws power from the battery instead of the grid.
Important: Without a battery, your solar panels will not work during a power outage.
