Residential battery storage solutions are advancing to help homeowners shift how and when they use energy. These systems can be built to provide enough energy to power an entire home or specific equipment and appliances if the power goes out.
If you have an electric vehicle, you can use battery storage to charge the vehicle. This time-of-use strategy will help you pay and store energy when costs are low and use that energy as costs rise during times of peak demand.
