Solar Energy Battery Storage
Prepare for the Worst with the Best Batteries in the Business
Your home battery system enables you to store the electricity generated by your solar panels throughout the day and use it when it’s most needed. If you don’t have solar, your battery can be charged from the grid and used when electricity prices or demand spike.
If you want your solar panels to continue to generate electricity during an emergency, in most cases you will need a solar battery system. Usually solar energy systems are designed to shut down automatically during an outage for safety reasons. This is to prevent the solar system from sending power back into the grid, which could be dangerous for the utility workers repairing the lines.
To use solar power during an outage, you would need a energy storage system (like a Tesla Powerwall or Enphase 10C) or a solar system with an inverter that allows for off-grid operation. This setup can store excess energy generated during the day and provide power to your home even when the grid is down.
The Importance of Reliable Secure Energy
Secure energy ensures stability in times of crisis. Take a moment to consider the far-reaching effects of a power outage, particularly during natural disasters. Without electricity, everyday life comes to a standstill.
Basic necessities like lighting, heating, cooking, food storage, the internet and medical devices could quickly become inaccessible. Home energy security isn’t just a matter of convenience; it’s a critical safeguard for your most essential needs.
One of the most important keys to maintaining stability is the reliable flow of power that a backup battery can provide. If you want total peace of mind that comes with a secure, reliable power supply.
Can a Battery System Backup My Entire Home?
The size of your battery system will be determined by your specific energy storage needs. Key factors, such as your household’s electricity usage and the appliances or devices you want to back up, will influence the ideal battery capacity for your home. Our consultants can help you properly size your battery system to fit your custom needs. For whole-home backup, you will probably need multiple batteries.
Can a Battery System Backup My Business?
Businesses also benefit from having energy storage installed on their property. Companies can lose a lot of money during a grid outage. Our engineers can design backup systems to provide immediate help during a power outage. Batteries run quietly with seamless switch over when the grid goes down. Battery systems are also covered by the 30% federal tax credit.
Our team has installed battery systems for Evergy, banks and other kinds of commercial operations to help them ensure their operation continue to run smoothly during a an emergency.
Financial Incentives for Battery Systems
For property owners assigned to a time-of-use plan by their electric company, the cost for electricity can skyrocket when you want to use it the most, usually between the hours of 4:00 pm and 10:00 pm. Having the option to use your battery during peak time-of-use hours can save you money and reduce the load on your local electrical grid.
What Battery Options are Available?
Laven Electric offers a wide range of batteries, each with their own unique features.
Solar + Battery Storage
Integrated battery systems from companies like Enphase, Franklin and Tesla, store energy, so when the grid goes down your power stays on. The system detects outages and automatically turns on to keep your most important appliances and electronics running.
A battery backup system reduces your reliance on the grid. When paired with solar panels, the battery can recharge during the day.
Some utilities charge more during peak demand hours. A battery lets you store cheap solar or off-peak grid power and use it when rates spike.
If you’re only worried about having power for your home or business during an emergency, a backup generator may also be an option for your situation.
FAQs
What is an energy storage battery and why would I need one?
An energy storage battery stores electricity produced by your solar panels or drawn from the grid so you can use it later. Batteries allow you to keep power during outages, reduce reliance on the grid, and use stored energy during peak pricing hours when electricity costs more.
Can a battery system power my entire home?
Yes. A properly sized battery system can power your entire home during an outage. Whole-home backup typically requires multiple batteries depending on your energy usage and the appliances you want to run.
Can energy storage batteries be used for commercial buildings?
Absolutely. Commercial battery systems help businesses maintain operations during outages, reduce peak demand charges, and improve overall energy reliability. Systems are custom-designed based on the facility’s electrical load and goals.
How do battery systems help reduce electricity costs?
Batteries allow you to store excess solar energy or low-cost off-peak electricity and use it during high-rate periods. This can lower monthly utility bills and protect against rising electricity prices.
What battery brands does Laven Electric install?
Laven Electric installs high-quality battery systems from trusted manufacturers such as Tesla, Enphase, and Franklin. The best option depends on your home or business, existing solar system, and backup power goals.
Are energy storage batteries eligible for tax credits?
Yes. Commercial energy storage systems are eligible for the federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), currently allowing you to claim 30% of the system cost when installed with solar or as a standalone battery. Residential batteries are not eligible for the 30% tax credit.
