Here at Breeze Solar we offer two different battery brands: Franklin and Tesla. While very similar, they all have minor differences that could be more beneficial for your personal needs and wants. For a full comprehensive comparison list, click here.

Solar backup batteries offer essential benefits; they provide energy independence by storing surplus solar energy, ensuring reliable power during grid outages, cutting electricity costs by utilizing stored energy efficiently, reducing environmental impact through renewable energy use, supporting grid stability, enabling remote power access, and enhancing long-term investment value for solar PV systems and homes. We find many homeowners prefer to get a battery installed with solar; additionally, batteries are also part of the ITC providing you with potential tax incentives.

Maintenance:

There shouldn't be any regular maintenance needed for batteries unless there is an issue covered by the warranty.

Best Location For The Battery:

Generally, the best location for a battery is in the garage on an exterior facing wall away from the drive path of their car.

Installation on exterior walls are dependent on the location of the electrical equipment- we cannot install on a south facing exterior wall due to direct sunlight which could heat the battery past nominal operating temperatures.

WIFI Capable:

WiFi is required to purchase a battery and all batteries will have an app where the customer can select how they want it to operate and see usage.

Energy Independence

Solar backup batteries allow you to store excess energy generated by your solar panels during the day for use during periods of low sunlight or at night, reducing your dependence on the grid.

Backup Power:

During grid outages or emergencies, solar backup batteries can provide a reliable source of power, ensuring that critical appliances and devices remain operational.

Remote Power Access:

For off-grid or remote locations, solar backup batteries offer a convenient and sustainable solution for accessing electricity without the need for traditional utility infrastructure.

Cost Savings:

By storing excess solar energy and using it during peak hours or when grid electricity rates are higher, solar backup batteries can help reduce electricity bills.

Long-Term Investment:

Investing in solar backup batteries can increase the overall value of your solar PV system and home, providing long-term benefits and potential resale advantages.

Environmental Impact:

Solar backup batteries can also support the grid by providing ancillary services such as frequency regulation and peak shaving, contributing to grid stability and reliability.

Grid Support:

For off-grid or remote locations, solar backup batteries offer a convenient and sustainable solution for accessing electricity without the need for traditional utility infrastructure.
