home batteries

Household power reserves

Home batteries are rechargeable energy storage systems installed in residences, typically to store electricity from solar panels or the grid for later use.

They provide backup power during outages and can reduce electricity costs by storing energy when rates are low: Our home batteries kept the lights on during the blackout.

The technology has grown alongside residential solar adoption.
