Battery Storage
The latest battery technologies for back-up power systems and grid-service functions.
Benefits
Lithium-ion batteries offer twice the amount of energy stores that lead-acid batteries offered and take up less space in the home.
Weather storms and other outages without losing power to critical devices like CPAP machines or refrigerated medicines.
Utilities will pay battery owners to discharge stored energy.
