Solar power is increasingly being embraced as a way to lower your energy bills, create a more resilient home energy system, and live a cleaner, more sustainable life. But it's not for everyone. Sometimes structural requirements, local regulations, and solar power laws can pose obstacles to installing a home solar system. But solar isn't the only way to boost your home's efficiency.
The Panasonic EverVolt™ Battery Storage System has been specifically designed to enable homeowners to enjoy the benefits of a more efficient home energy solution with or without solar panels. Here's a look at the Panasonic EverVolt and how it can benefit you.
What is Home Battery Storage?
A home battery storage system captures energy and stores it for you to use during power failures or peak demand periods. In this way, it ensures you have round-the-clock access to power even when the electricity grid is down. Home battery storage systems can capture energy from different sources. While this is often from rooftop solar panels, it can also be directly from the grid.
How Does Home Battery Storage Boost Efficiency?
If your utility charges you based on time-of-day pricing, a home battery storage system like the EverVolt can really help you trim your monthly energy costs. By providing you with access to stored electricity round-the-clock, you can tap into your battery when grid power prices are high and charge it again when prices slump, efficiently keeping your bills to a minimum. You can even hedge against future energy price rises to better manage your household expenses.
Home battery storage systems also make your property more resilient to blackouts, brownouts, and extreme weather events. The EverVolt provides you with an alternative source of electricity you can use when the lights go out. The average household can run basic appliances for six to nine hours with a single EverVolt battery, so you can keep running your appliances and live life as usual even when the unexpected happens.
By decreasing your reliance on the grid, batteries can support you in transitioning towards a more sustainable, efficient, and independent future. Since the Panasonic EverVolt does not require you to navigate what can be complex home restrictions on solar panels, it's a great way to start. If you do decide to install solar at a later date, the EverVolt is compatible with all solar energy systems.
What is the Panasonic EverVolt?
Panasonic EverVolt is an all-in-one energy storage system, specifically designed to provide you with access to a clean, noise-free, and affordable source of backup power. It comes in a range of different sizes, for any home and its modular design means you can easily install one or several batteries on top of each other, depending on your home's power requirements. It's neat enough to tuck away in your garage and it can be easily serviced on-site, so there's zero downtime.
Underpinning the EverVolt is the same battery technology used to power the world's most advanced electric cars. Backed up by a complete 10-year warranty on parts and labor, you can control your EverVolt from your smartphone, which allows you to track your energy usage in real-time, check the battery's charge and program your battery to supply power at certain times, such as at night or when grid prices are high. What's more, you can use the EverVolt with or without solar panels.
Incentives to Help with Installation Costs
Some states offer tax credits and incentives to support and encourage homeowners to install battery storage technologies. Some of these incentives require you to couple your battery with solar panels but others support standalone installations. The level and nature of these incentives vary by state. You can see an overview of any incentives offered in your state using the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency.
