What is a home energy storage system?

Home energy storage systems are not just batteries stacked with inverters. They also have many features and benefits for your home, and some even include Smart Energy Management (SEM).

Why do you need a backup energy storage system?

Having a backup energy storage system will ensure uninterrupted power, which will give you the energy independence you deserve, powering your home through any crisis. Grid-tied homes mainly use solar battery banks as a backup energy storage system, storing the generated energy for later use.

Should you invest in home battery storage?

Whether you frequently experience outages, are paying exorbitant electric bills, or simply want more energy independence, investing in home battery storage may be the solution you’re looking for. You don't need a home solar panel system to reap the benefits of home battery backup.

How much energy does a home storage battery use?

A high-capacity home storage battery, with capacities of 15–20 kWh, can power the average home for more than a day (assuming around 13.5kWh daily consumption) if high-demand loads are excluded. Likewise, it can be between 50% and 66% if high loads are included in the consumption because they account for up to 55% of the consumed energy.

Can home batteries store high energy capacities?

Home batteries can store high energy capacities because they use a large bank of lithium stationary energy storage batteries. These batteries work similarly to other lithium options on the market but with larger capacities ranging from 5 kWh to 20 kWh.

Why do you need a home battery storage system?

Home batteries store extra energy so you can use it later. When you only have solar panels, any electricity they generate that you don’t use goes to the grid. But with residential battery storage, you can store that extra power to use when your panels aren’t producing enough electricity to meet your demand.
