What are the advantages of battery energy storage systems?

Battery storage systems provide a backup power source in case of outages, reduce peak electricity demands, allow you to power your home with 100% clean energy (when paired with solar panels), and help stabilize local grids. They also offer cost savings by shifting energy usage to off-peak hours when demand is low and electricity is cheaper.

Currently the 25D Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit provides a 30% federal tax credit on the cost of new battery storage systems size 3kWh and larger.
