Florida’s Choice for Reliable Solar Batteries

Solar Storage Provisions

Solar panels combined with energy storage systems allow homeowners to extend their energy savings, increase their return on investment, and increase the value of their homes. Adding an energy storage system to your solar panel system can enhance your energy independence and provide around-the-clock power from a clean, renewable resource. A storage system ensures electricity despite power outages or gloomy weather without pulling from the utility grid. Battery storage is great for homeowners who live in areas with less than 1:1 net metering and/or Time of Use (TOU) rate changes.

Discover the Solar Storage Solutions

Energy independence is one of the main reasons homeowners convert to solar, along with savings. With home storage solutions reducing the need to pull from the utility grid, savings, and home value, can increase. For every dollar saved on utility bills with a solar panel system and a storage system, home value increases by $20. We offer battery storage options for large homes, small homes, and everything in between. Basic household appliances such as lights, internet routers, refrigerators, and microwaves can all be powered by an essential single battery package. Larger appliances that use more power, like air conditioners and ovens, often require larger home storage solutions.

Do I need a solar battery?2024-06-20T18:20:23-04:00

Not all solar array owners want a solar battery, though many do. It can be a great investment for homeowners who live in sunny climates, as they will be able to charge their batteries often.

Does a battery work on days that are not sunny?2024-06-20T18:20:12-04:00

Solar energy storage systems are designed to charge during peak sunlight hours so they can power household appliances when the sun is not out. Some battery systems can also be charged directly from the grid, giving you peace of mind in rain or shine.

What is the warranty on batteries?2024-06-20T18:20:01-04:00

Different storage solutions will have different warranties. For example, the FranklinWH battery comes with a 12-year warranty, starting from the installation date or 12 months after the manufacture date, whichever is first. Powerwall+ offers a 10-year warranty, but both must be connected to the Internet to allow remote firmware upgrades.

Do solar batteries qualify for the federal tax credit?2024-06-20T18:20:34-04:00

Yes, the good news is that solar batteries do qualify for the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). It also applies to the battery on its own. 30% of your total solar system cost for all installations in the U.S. completed through 2032.

Tesla Powerwall Solar Storage

Tesla Powerwall Battery Storage

The Tesla Powerwall is the best-known home battery on the market. The Powerwall sets the standard for the solar battery industry — it offers a great balance of capability, capacity, flexibility, and software, all at a very compelling price point. The Tesla Powerwall provides all the standard advantages of solar batteries, including backup protection against grid outages, time-of-use load-shifting, and greater energy independence. The Powerwall also comes with industry-leading software that allows homeowners to view the power flows in their home and adjust battery settings on the fly.

There are currently three versions of the Tesla Powerwall in existence, with a fourth as the newest contenter. The first version was launched in 2015, Powerwall 2 in 2016. The latest version is the Powerwall+ which is essentially the Powerwall 2 with the addition of a built-in solar inverter. Powerwall 3 is expected to have double the capacity of the Powerwall 2.

FranklinWH aPower X Battery Storage

The Franklin Home Power (FHP) system is an advanced energy control system that integrates the grid, solar generation, batteries, and generators. It is managed via a simple mobile app and provides real-time monitoring and control for a home’s day-to-day energy usage. The FHP system is designed to supply energy from multiple power sources during grid outages, ensuring that your home stays powered up even when the grid is down.

The FHP’s energy management is provided by the aGate X, an intelligent controller that integrates all power sources and automatically detects grid outages to seamlessly transition a home to backup power within 16ms. An aGate X Smart Circuits Module is available for controlling and automated load shedding for heavy energy loads during an outage. It provides custom scheduling of unique loads for more efficient use. A Generator Module can also be added to the aGate X for standby generator integration, providing maximum energy resilience and independence.

Enphase IQ Battery Storage

Enphase IQ Battery 5P Storage

The IQ Battery 5P all-in-one AC-coupled system is powerful, reliable, simple, and safe. The IQ Battery 5P performs two critical functions in your system. The battery packs, internal to IQ Battery 5P, store energy for later use, such as during a power outage. The IQ Microinverters in the IQ Battery 5P units provide the voltage and frequency necessary for the operation of your solar while running off the grid. Microinverters convert your harvested energy into usable AC electricity for your house. IQ Battery 5P communicates with the IQ Gateway through a wired communication signal.

The IQ System Controller 3/3G senses when the grid goes down and seamlessly transitions the home from grid power to backup power. IQ System Controller 3/3G disconnects the grid and powers the backup loads using the IQ Battery 5P storage system, PV system, and the electrical service panel that houses the circuits that are powered during a grid outage.

SolarEdge Home Solar Battery Storage

SolarEdge Home Inverters allow a DC oversizing rate of up to 200% and a SolarEdge Home Battery provides an ideal storage option for housing all that excess power in both on-grid and backup applications. The batteries are highly efficient energy storage with up to 94.5% round trip efficiency. Any excess PV is stored directly in the battery thanks to the proprietary DC coupling technology. SolarEdge Home Battery 400V is one of the first residential batteries to pass the strictest UL9540A unit-level test for fire safety hazards, allowing convenient indoor installations.

Install the battery with Home Inverters, integrated Smart Modules with Power Optimizers, and the growing family of streamlined smart energy devices. Simple plug-and-play installation is easier with wireless inverter-battery communication and quick commissioning using SolarEdge SetApp wizard, saving installation time and reducing messy wiring.
