Solar panels make power when the sun is up — but San Diego's highest SDG&E rates hit in the evening, after the sun goes down. A home battery bridges that gap: it stores the clean energy your panels make during the day so you can use it at night, when electricity is most expensive. For San Diego homeowners under NEM 3.0, adding battery storage is the single best way to maximize your solar savings.

Why add a battery to your San Diego solar system?

Under California's new net-metering rules (NEM 3.0), the credit you earn for exporting solar power to the grid is much lower than it used to be. Storing your own power in a battery — instead of selling it back cheaply and buying it back at peak rates — protects your investment and your bill. It's the difference between good solar and great solar.

Backup power when the grid goes down

When SDG&E has an outage or a Public Safety Power Shutoff, a battery keeps your essentials running — lights, fridge, internet, medical devices — so your home stays powered while the neighborhood goes dark.

Beat peak-rate pricing

Time-of-use rates mean grid power costs the most in the late afternoon and evening. Your battery discharges during those expensive hours, so you pull less from SDG&E when it matters most.

Real energy independence

Generate it, store it, use it on your terms. A battery gives you control over your home's energy instead of leaving you at the mercy of rate hikes and outages.

EV charging powered by the sun

Driving electric? Pair your solar and battery with a home EV charger and fuel your car on sunshine. Charge overnight from stored solar energy instead of buying expensive grid power — and never wait in a public charging line again. We design systems sized for your home and your commute.
