Solar and Batteries go together like peanut butter and jelly

Dan Diehl

Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of electricity that can help you save money on your utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint. But did you know that solar panels on your house in Durango can be even more beneficial when paired with a battery storage system?

A solar battery storage system allows you to store the excess electricity that your solar panels generate during the day and use it later, at night or during peak hours when electricity rates are higher. This can help you save even more money, in certain cases, on your utility bills and reduce your reliance on the grid.

In addition, a solar battery storage system can provide you with backup power during power outages. If the grid goes down, your solar panels will continue to generate electricity, which can be stored in your battery and used to power your home. This can give you peace of mind during storms and other emergencies such as snow storms in the Durango area.

If you're considering going solar, be sure to talk to us about battery storage options. A solar battery storage system can make your solar system even more beneficial.

Here are some of the benefits of solar with batteries:

Reduce your carbon footprint. Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of electricity that doesn't produce greenhouse gases. By going solar, you can reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and help fight climate change.

Increase your energy independence. A solar battery storage system can help you increase your energy independence by storing the electricity that your solar panels generate. This means that you'll be less reliant on the grid and can power your home even when the grid is down.

Get backup power during power outages. If the grid goes down, as can happen from time to time in southwest Colorado, your solar panels will continue to generate electricity, which can be stored in your battery and used to power your home. This can give you peace of mind during storms and other emergencies.
