Home battery backup systems, like the Tesla Powerwall or the LGES 10H and 16H Prime, store energy, which you can use to power your house during an outage. Batteries get that electricity from your home solar system or the electrical grid. As a result, they're much better for the environment than fuel-powered generators.
During a power outage, the battery system automatically kicks in, providing electricity to keep essential appliances and systems running. There are several types of home battery backup systems available, each with its own advantages and limitations. The three main types are lithium-ion, lead-acid, and flow batteries.
With a battery backup system, you can achieve a high degree of energy independence. This means less reliance on the grid and protection against rising electricity costs. Home battery backup systems are often installed in conjunction with solar panel systems.
Whether partial or whole-home, battery backup systems insulate you from disruptions caused by power outages, effectively boosting your home’s resiliency. Pairing your solar panels with a battery backup system provides you with renewable resilience.
Home battery backup systems represent a significant advancement in residential energy management. They offer increased energy independence, protection against power outages, and the potential for long-term cost savings. While the upfront costs can be high, declining prices and government incentives make these systems increasingly accessible.
