Solar panels create electricity from sunlight, but only when the sun is shining and the electricity grid is working. When you combine solar with battery storage you can power your home or business with solar and save any extra solar power in the battery to use later when you really need it.
Installing a solar + storage system at your home or business lets you choose which rooms and appliances you want to backup. Solar + storage systems can provide backup power that you can use to keep your food cold, cell phones charged, and the lights on during a power outage. When the sun comes up again, solar panels will recharge the battery so you can continue to get backup power until the grid is up and running again. Solar + storage is a clean alternative to diesel or natural gas generators without the noise, maintenance, and diesel exhaust smell.
Solar and battery storage not only provides energy resilience and independence– it qualifies for incentives and tax credits. Some solar + storage systems are eligible for cash incentives from Energy Trust for solar panels, plus Oregon solar rebates and federal investment tax credits for solar and batter storage.
