Boost Your Solar Investment with Battery Storage
Incorporating solar energy into your home is a powerful way to reduce energy costs, increase self-sufficiency, and contribute to a cleaner environment. But if you want to unlock the full potential of your solar system, consider adding battery storage to the equation.
A solar-plus-storage solution allows you to capture and store excess energy produced by your solar panels, optimizing energy use, increasing savings, and providing peace of mind during power outages. Here’s how pairing your solar system with battery storage can elevate your energy experience—and how NC Solar Now’s expertise ensures seamless integration and maximum benefits.
Why Add Battery Storage to Your Solar System?
Battery storage systems are designed to store the excess energy generated by your solar panels, giving you more control over when and how you use it. Here are some of the most compelling reasons to consider battery storage:
- Increased Energy Savings: With battery storage, you can store energy generated during sunny hours and use it during peak rate times when utility costs are higher. This helps you avoid peak charges and reduce reliance on the grid, saving you money over the long term.
- Energy Resilience and Backup Power: North Carolina is no stranger to storms and power outages. A solar-plus-storage system provides backup power during outages, keeping your essential devices and appliances running even when the grid goes down. Battery storage gives you peace of mind, knowing you’ll have power when you need it most.
- Greater Energy Independence: A battery storage system allows you to use your stored energy whenever you need it, making you less dependent on the grid. This is especially beneficial in regions with fluctuating energy prices and increasing grid demands.
- Incentives are currently available right now: Duke Energy customers may qualify for a substantial rebate when adding batteries to their solar system.
How Does Solar Battery Storage Work?
When your solar panels generate more electricity than your home needs, that excess energy is typically sent back to the grid. With a battery storage system, however, you can store that energy in a battery to use later. Here’s how the process works:
- Daytime: Your solar panels generate electricity, powering your home and charging the battery. Any excess energy fills the battery first; once it’s full, the remaining power can be sent to the grid.
- Evening and Nighttime: When the sun isn’t shining, your home can draw power from the stored energy in the battery, allowing you to reduce or eliminate the need to pull electricity from the grid.
- During Power Outages: If a power outage occurs, the battery will automatically kick in, providing backup power to keep your lights, essential appliances, and critical devices operating.
- No need for fuel: In an emergency, your system can operate for extended periods without the need for refueling. Unlike a generator, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your energy source replenishes itself each day.
The Financial Benefits of Solar-Plus-Storage
In addition to enhancing energy security, solar battery storage also makes financial sense for many homeowners. Here’s how a solar-plus-storage system can maximize your savings in North Carolina with multiple incentives that make solar a smart investment, including:
- Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC): This federal program allows homeowners to claim 30% of their solar installation costs as a tax credit, significantly reducing out-of-pocket expenses.
- Duke Energy’s PowerPair Program (Save Up to $9000): Morrisville residents who are Duke Energy customers can take advantage of the PowerPair program. PowerPair provides incentives to homeowners who allow Duke Energy to access and manage their solar systems remotely, helping to balance grid demand.
- Financing Your Solar System
NC Solar Now offers a range of financing options to make solar affordable for every budget. This includes a ‘No Interest and No Payments for 24 Months’ option, enabling you to install solar now and enjoy two years without payments. By the time your payment plan begins, you’ll have already enjoyed significant savings from reduced utility costs.
