Battery Storage For Your Home Solar System
Curious what it’s like to go solar with Dominion Energy Solutions?
Why Choose Dominion Energy Solutions for Battery Storage
When the power goes out, your home stays on. Our battery storage systems work with your solar panels to keep your lights, refrigerator, and essential appliances running during outages.
We install top-quality batteries that store extra power your solar panels make during the day. Use that energy at night or when the grid goes down. Our certified technicians handle everything and make sure your battery works perfectly with your solar system.
Three Benefits of a Solar Battery Storage System
Backup Power
Because the electricity generated by solar panels is intermittent (and devices in your home could be damaged by fluctuating electrical currents), a solar system without batteries will not power your home when the grid is down during inclement weather. Battery storage allows you to keep the lights on as your utility provider repairs the grid.
Peak Shaving
A solar battery system can boost your electricity savings — especially if you’re on a time-of-use or Off-Peak Plan. These plans charge more during “peak” weekday hours when demand is highest. With a battery, your system stores energy during lower-cost periods and powers your home when electricity rates spike, lowering your reliance on the grid and maximizing your savings.
Greater Energy Independence
Electricity produced and stored during the day can be used by your home at night. This reduces your need to use power from the grid through net metering.
Installing Home Solar Batteries in Five Easy Steps
Our team visits your home to check your electrical setup and see where the battery will go. We look at your current solar system, electrical panel, and find the best spot for your new battery.
We handle all the paperwork and permits needed for your battery installation. If your electrical panel needs updates to handle the new battery, we’ll take care of that too.
Time to install your battery! We mount it securely in the location we planned during the site visit. Most batteries go in garages, basements, or outside utility areas.
After installation, we test everything to make sure your battery works perfectly with your solar panels and home electrical system. We run through different scenarios to ensure it kicks in when the power goes out.
We’ll show you how to track your battery’s performance on your phone or computer. You can see when it’s charging from your solar panels and when it’s powering your home.
