Frequently asked questions
Do I need solar to add battery storage?
Not always. Some homeowners add storage mainly for resilience and backup planning, even before installing solar.
Is whole-home backup necessary?
No. Partial backup is often the better balance of cost and resilience for many homes.
What changes battery installer quotes the most?
Coverage goals, output requirements, critical-load planning, and how the battery integrates with the existing electrical system.
