Why Batteries?
Backup Power During Outages
- In the event of a grid failure, a solar-powered battery system can provide backup power to keep essential appliances running. This is particularly valuable for people in areas with unreliable power grids or during extreme weather conditions that lead to outages.
Environmental Impact:
- By relying more on your solar battery system and less on grid power, you reduce your carbon footprint. You’re using more renewable energy from your solar panels rather than potentially drawing power from fossil-fuel-based electricity sources.
Energy Independence:
- With a battery backup, you can reduce reliance on the grid. This is particularly beneficial in areas with frequent power outages or where electricity prices can fluctuate. You can ensure you have access to energy even during a power cut.
Future Proofing:
- As more homes and businesses adopt solar and the grid becomes more reliant on renewable energy, the possibility of grid instability increases. Having battery backup can help future-proof your energy needs, ensuring a stable power supply regardless of grid fluctuations.
Batteries vs. Generators
Batteries offer a backup solution that are cleaner and quieter. Most generators run on fossil fuels which means they omit harmful gases. They can also be a louder solution, whereas batteries operate silently. Generators also require maintenance such as oil changes and engine servicing, whereas batteries don't.

Utility costs are on the rise and there’s no sign of them slowing down. Consumers are feeling the pressure of constantly climbing electricity rates. As inflation continues to affect nearly every industry and energy demand increases, utility companies are charging more, which means your bills are getting higher. In fact, many experts agree that utility prices will only continue to increase, making it harder for households and businesses to keep their budgets under control. NYSERDA provides detailed information on historical energy rates throughout New York State for example. These patterns follow the same trends nationwide.
In recent years, solar energy has become a more accessible, affordable, and environmentally friendly way to power your home or business. The push toward sustainability and energy independence has never been stronger, and installing solar panels can bring numerous benefits to homeowners. We have created a guide answering frequently asked questions, and and to inform you on the key reasons solar may be your next best investment.
