Put Money in Your Pocket With Solar Batteries

Our professionals install lithium-ion batteries for residential customers with solar power systems, and depending on your utility rate structure, help you save even more on your electric bill.

As a homeowner, if you’re enrolled in a demand rate program, you may have a portion of your electric bill called a “demand charge.” This is an energy savings device that decreases costs for those who choose to reduce their peak usage and time of use but increase your costs if you use more energy then. Arizona utilities, especially, are moving toward demand-based rate plans that add new fees to your electric bill for the highest hour of energy drawn from the grid during your billing cycle. Energy storage can mitigate these fees because you can reduce demand charges for your home.

How Do Time-of-Use Rates Affect Solar Battery Economics?

If your utility has time-of-use rates, you pay more for electricity during “peak hours” when demand for electricity is high, typically in the late afternoon and evening when your solar system isn’t producing enough energy to cover all your needs. Your charges are lower when solar panels are at their most productive during the daytime. If your utility uses time-of-use or demand rates, you can benefit from home energy storage by using electricity from your solar batteries during peak hours when demand charges are at their highest. California and Arizona are two states where time-of-use rates are becoming increasingly common, a big reason why so many of our customers can benefit from solar energy batteries for their home.

Solar Energy Storage Systems—Reliable Backup Power When You Need It

In many parts of the country, and especially for many of our customers in parts of California, weather can be unpredictable. During extreme weather events, wouldn’t it be nice if you had stored power to rely on? The reliability of renewable energy makes this possible.

If you have a standard solar panel system, you’ll still lose power during an outage because of how your panels are connected to the grid. However, when you add a battery to your system, your home can run off of this solar energy in the event that the grid goes down. Plus, you will be able to avoid higher demand charge fees by relying on energy produced from your system during peak hours instead.

By adding a solar home energy storage battery to your residential solar project, you can achieve peace of mind and power your home at any time with clean, renewable energy.

Store Power From the Sun: Harness efficient solar power any time, day or night, by gathering the energy and using it in times of need.
Enjoy Peace of Mind: Protect your home in an outage, powering essential appliances and electronics.
Be in Control of Your Bill: Energy storage is cost effective because you can use solar energy generated during the day to offset evening usage.

What is Energy Reliability?

Energy reliability means using solar power to fulfill basic consumer demand for electricity while still being flexible enough to increase output during predicted peaks.

How Does Solar Energy Storage Work?

A solar panel system installed by Solar Gain generates energy and sends it to a solar energy storage battery. Intelligent software automatically manages which power source is used (grid or battery) in order to maximize the use of solar energy. Lastly, the battery provides energy as needed. When the battery is depleted, you will start drawing electricity from the grid again.

It’s Like Energy in a Bottle

Enjoy a self-powered home and complete energy independence while also taking advantage of demand charges.

Energy Reliability in California

Energy reliability is huge in California; therefore, it’s a huge initiative for us to make solar energy storage systems available to our customers. Depending on where you live in the state of California, severe weather can cause regular power outages. Solar voltaic systems can alleviate this problem.

During extreme weather events, solar energy storage batteries can be used as a reliable source of power. Utility companies in California also like to turn off power to reduce fires—another reason that solar power is so appealing to homeowners in California.

Never Feel Powerless, Even in an Outage

Don’t let bad weather, blackouts, or unexpected outages put your life on hold. With energy storage solutions from Solar Gain, you can make energy independence a reality. By adding a solar energy storage battery to your solar energy system, you can take advantage of peak demand times and control how much energy is saved. Then you can use your energy when you need it the most. When the power goes out, you still need your lights to stay on, your fridge to stay cold, and your phone to charge. Solar Gain makes this possible with energy storage technologies; by adding a battery system to your home, you can become energy independent.

Solar batteries are also an excellent energy saving device. During peak hours when the demand for electricity is high, you can rely on energy produced from your system that is being stored in your battery rather than paying more for electricity from the electric grid. Depending on the time of day, the rate for using utility energy can be very high. Solar batteries eliminate this problem. While solar power systems help you save money in the long term, a solar battery will only increase and help with your savings.

At Solar Gain, we enable your home to be self-powered. Our solar energy storage battery solutions can dramatically increase the effectiveness of your solar system. Contact Solar Gain today for a free evaluation.
