Storage solves the basic dilemma of not being home when the sun is shining. Storage addresses a fundamental problem of solar energy: while solar production peaks during midday, energy consumption is highest in the morning and evening. With storage, you can save the energy you produce for when you need it most.

Storage captures low cost clean energy and adds flexibility to when you can use that energy, helping you get the best financial return and increasing your energy independence

AFFORDABLE & ENTRY LEVEL

For just over $3000 you can get started with an Enphase 1.2kWh AC Battery. As time passes, you simply add more units as your experience grows or energy demands change. The same applies to the Sonnen battery. You can start with a 2kWh battery and expand it up to 16kWh with additional 2kWh battery modules. The Tesla Powerwall comes in a set size and is best suited to households with large consumption. However, ten units can be stacked for large commercial operations.
