Solar & Battery Backup: The Dynamic Duo
There have been many dynamic duos throughout the years: Starsky and Hutch, Calvin and Hobbes, and peanut butter and jelly. Now we have the new dynamic duo: solar and battery backup. This pairing may be the most iconic in years to come due to the benefits it provides to homeowners and the environment.
Benefits of Solar and Battery Backup
Reduce Emissions:
Reducing your emissions is a huge benefit of going solar. Then if you add battery backup, you are reducing them even more. Battery Backup is the clean way to power you home when the lights go out. Also, you can run off the battery if you have peak times that you want to keep your energy use down during. Solar and battery backup can help you reduce your emissions and help the environment breathe better.
Power Your Whole Home:
The great part of solar and battery backup is you can size the battery backup system to power priority loads or your entire home. Therefore, when the power goes out you can choose if you want to keep everything running or to keep just the essentials running, like your refrigerator and lights. Battery Backup is a great way to choose how to power your home when the lights go out.
Clean Energy:
Clean energy is here to stay and the environment is thanking us. Going solar is a fantastic way to power your home in a clean way, with the power of the sun. It is a renewable source of energy that is abundant. Plus, if you add in a battery backup system for when the power goes out, it is leaps and bounds cleaner than running your home off a generator. Solar and battery backup is the clean way to power your home in all circumstances.
No Refueling: With a solar power and battery backup system, you don’t have to worry about refueling a generator. The excess solar power is stored in the battery for when you need it. Then when the battery is used, the solar power system will start to store its excess energy in the battery again to keep it at the ideal level. When you have a solar and battery backup system, you no longer need to worry about refueling a generator after it is used.
Tax Credits Available:
One of the many perks of going solar is the tax credits available. There are federal tax incentives available and many states have their own incentives as well. In some states, you can save as much as 50% on your solar system through tax incentives. Plus, many states are now implementing battery backup incentives as well. With all the tax incentives available, it is very attractive to go solar and add a battery backup system to your home.
Winter Is Coming: With winter around the corner, we can expect snow, ice, and freezing temperatures. The last thing you want when it is freezing out is to be without power for days at a time. With solar and battery backup you do not have to worry about that. The battery backup system will keep your home running so you do not have to worry about pipes freezing and keeping your family warm. Solar and battery backup is what you need for peace of mind in the cold winter months.
Lower Energy Bills:
Who doesn’t love to save money? Especially on your pesky energy bills that will always be there. Going solar is a great way to reduce your energy bills. Many of our customers only pay the connection fee to the grid on a monthly basis! Plus, with a battery backup system, you can switch to it if you live in an area that has peak rates to save even more. Saving money is a one of the many superpowers of the dynamic duo of solar and battery backup.
