Solar Energy Storage Systems for Home Power Backup

Solar energy storage systems capture excess electricity generated by solar panels and store it for later use. These systems typically use battery technology (like lithium-ion batteries), though other methods include thermal storage, compressed air, and flywheels.

When your solar panels produce more electricity than you’re using, instead of sending it back to the grid, the energy is stored in your battery. Later, during the night or cloudy weather, you can draw electricity from your storage system instead of buying it from the utility company.

Adding energy storage provides several benefits:

• Backup power during grid outages

• Increased energy independence

• Reduced electricity bills through “peak shaving” (using stored energy when rates are high)

• Smarter energy usage with SolarTech’s integrated systems
  Some utility markets even offer extra incentives for optimized usage.

Costs vary based on size, brand, and installation requirements. Most residential systems range from $8,000 to $15,000 installed. SolarTech offers flexible financing, seasonal promos (like $1,500 back), and up to $750 in referral incentives. Federal tax credits can also lower your final cost. The exact price depends on your energy needs and home setup.

Most systems come with a 10-year warranty and can last 10–15 years with proper care. Over time, battery capacity may reduce slightly. SolarTech offers maintenance programs to help maximize lifespan through performance checks and regular monitoring.

Yes, with the right system size. SolarTech offers whole-home backup solutions designed to power essentials like lights, fridges, and HVAC systems.

During extended outages, solar panels can recharge your battery during the day. For homes with higher energy needs, multiple battery units can be added. SolarTech customizes recommendations based on your energy use and budget.
