New From Balance Solar

Battery Energy Storage Systems

Balance Solar is bringing its proven financing and development model to residential Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) — helping homeowners gain energy independence, backup power, and long-term savings.

What is a Battery Energy Storage System?

A Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) stores electricity — whether from the grid or your own solar panels — for use whenever you need it. Instead of losing excess solar production or facing the grid's ups and downs, a BESS gives your home a reliable, on-demand source of clean energy.

Why Add Battery Storage?

Battery storage complements your home's energy setup, whether or not you already have solar panels installed.

Backup Power

Keep the lights on during grid outages with stored energy ready to power your essential appliances.

Lower Energy Bills

Store energy when rates are low and use it during peak hours to reduce your time-of-use electricity costs.

Pairs With Solar

Maximize the value of your solar panels by storing excess production instead of exporting it to the grid.

Increase Home Value

Battery storage is an increasingly sought-after home upgrade that boosts resiliency and marketability.
