Solar battery basics for homeowners
A battery can do several jobs. The right size depends on which job matters most to you.
Backup is a design choice
Choose the circuits you need during an outage before choosing capacity. Refrigeration, internet, lighting, and heating equipment can have very different demands.
Understand daily shifting
A battery can store midday solar energy for evening use. The financial value depends on your rate structure, consumption pattern, and equipment cost.
Ask about limitations
Every battery has power and energy limits. Your proposal should show both, plus what happens during extended cloudy weather.
