With energy storage technology rapidly advancing and finally hitting the residential market, we’ve had many inquiries about pairing solar with energy storage. In markets like Illinois, where Net-Metering is a huge incentive for customers, many solar owners don’t feel an urgency to secure their power with battery back-up systems.
However, as storm season continues in the Midwest, some customers are considering energy storage as a way to become independent from the grid during outages. Here are two battery back-up options Stateline Solar can provide:
