A battery system can back up any electrical appliance in your home. We recommend backing up the most important appliances in your home like your refrigerator, stove, water heater, or heating and air conditioning unit.

A no-backup battery storage option is designed for clients in some markets to maximize savings with the utility company by “selling” or exporting excess energy produced by the solar system back to the grid during peak times. With the no-backup option, only a small amount of power will be stored at any given time and the battery is not designed to be used in the event of a power outage.

Back-up battery options will do all that the no-backup options are capable of with the additional benefit of storing larger amounts of electricity to power essential appliances in your home even if the electricity is out. With that said, the difference between partial and whole home backup is the number of appliances that will be available to use in the event of a power outage.
