If you are looking to pair your solar panels with a reliable home battery backup, so you always have power - even when the sun isn’t shining - the market-leading Tesla products are a great option to consider. Tesla is the market leader in solar batteries, and the Powerwall offers a competitive price point compared to other energy storage products on the market. You may be wondering if a solar battery will save you money. Energy storage prices have fallen 50% in the last year alone and almost 90% over the past decade (source: Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables and the American Clean Power Association). Still, for most homeowners, the decision to purchase a battery is based more on the desire for protection from power outages and energy independence rather than achieving a financial return. You will have peace of mind knowing you always have access to a reliable solar battery backup. When you are getting an estimate for your Tesla Powerwall, look at the breakdown for materials and labor. Also, consider the size of your home and normal energy usage. For example, you might need to install multiple Powerwall units if you want enough backup power for the whole home. Talk to our solar installation team for a detailed estimate to determine whether you want to include the Powerwall as part of your installation.
