Solar and whole home battery backup, without buying the equipment.
Qualified homes can receive solar and battery backup systems to help reduce grid strain, without financing or paying cash for the equipment, installation, maintenance, or any other system related costs. Homeowners simply pay for the power the system produces instead of drawing it from the grid.
Not every home qualifies. It depends on your roof, energy usage, and structural readiness.

Already have solar? Add the battery.
For homes that already have solar, a battery adds the piece that's missing: power when the grid goes down.
Preserve your net metering status
Add storage without giving up the net metering status your system already has, for qualifying homes.
Smartphone monitoring
Check your battery and your home's energy from your phone, wherever you are.
Stay powered through blackouts
When the grid goes down, including PSPS shutoffs, your battery may keep your home running.
A generator waits for an outage. A battery works every day.
Both can keep the lights on when the grid goes down. Here's how they compare, point by point.
| The point | Generator | Solar plus battery |
|---|---|---|
| Power source | Depends on fuel, so backup lasts only as long as your supply. | Recharges from your solar panels, with no fuel to store or refill. |
| Noise and air | Loud, and needs ventilation for its exhaust. | Quiet, with no engine and no exhaust. |
| Your monthly bill | Does nothing for your monthly bill. | Works every day, and for qualifying homes may help lower your bill. |
| The grid | Cannot send power back to the grid. | Can send stored energy back at peak, which may earn net billing credits. |
“When I compared the cost of a generator to solar batteries, it was clear that going the battery route ... made the most sense. Now it's not only more affordable, it's far more reliable.”
