Battery-ready planning

Battery storage is optional. Plan for it either way.

Solar-only and battery-ready systems both start with panels. The difference is whether the equipment can accept a battery later — and that is much easier to check before you choose.

Home solar panels with battery-ready energy storage equipment

TWO WAYS TO GO

Solar-only or battery-ready

Solar-only system

Panels cover your daytime electricity use and feed your home directly. The simplest option to compare, with fewer components to maintain.

Battery-ready system

Panels with equipment designed to accept a battery later. You can add storage when your needs and budget justify it.

DECIDING

Questions worth asking

Is the proposed system battery-ready, or not?

What does a battery add to the system cost?

How often do evening or outage considerations apply to my home?

What warranty applies to battery equipment added later?
