Backup Power: Battery Storage for Homes & Businesses Tuesday, February 28 at 7pm
Onsite battery storage systems are seeing a spike in interest. Some homeowners are motivated by concerns about access to energy during power outages or brownouts, while others are looking to add battery storage to make the most of their solar system. These battery systems often provide backup for 10 to 20 hours and can be charged either by solar panels onsite or electricity from your utility.
