Power Your Home.
Power Your EV.
Power Through Outages.
You don't need rooftop solar to enjoy the benefits of home energy storage. Pairing an electric vehicle with a home backup battery can lower your electric bills, provide peace of mind during outages, and give your household more control over where your energy comes from.
Backup Power
Keep lights, refrigerators, internet and other essentials running during outages.Lower Bills
Store inexpensive overnight electricity and use it when utility rates are highest.Charge Your EV
Use stored energy to charge your electric vehicle when it's most economical.Solar Ready
If you add solar later, your battery becomes even more valuable.Home Batteries Work Even Without Solar
Many people assume home batteries only make sense if you already have rooftop solar. In reality, batteries can charge directly from the electric grid whenever rates are lowest—typically overnight—and then power your home during expensive peak periods or unexpected outages.
- Renters planning for the future
- Homes with shaded roofs
- HOA-restricted neighborhoods
- Anyone wanting backup power without installing solar today
Even Better With Rooftop Solar
Adding solar transforms your battery into your own personal energy bank. Instead of sending excess solar production back to the utility at lower compensation rates, you can store it for later use, charge your EV overnight, or keep your home running during an outage.
Without Solar
- ✓ Charge battery overnight when electricity is cheapest
- ✓ Use stored power during peak-rate periods
- ✓ Backup power during outages
- ✓ Greater control over utility costs
With Solar
- ✓ Store your own solar energy
- ✓ Charge your EV with sunshine
- ✓ Reduce grid dependence
- ✓ Maximize your solar investment
Energy Independence Starts at Home
A modern home battery gives you more than emergency backup—it provides flexibility every day. Combined with an electric vehicle, you're creating a cleaner, quieter and more resilient energy system for your household.

Whether you have solar today or plan to install it later, pairing an electric vehicle with a home battery is one of the smartest ways to reduce energy costs, increase resilience, and prepare your home for the future. Together, they provide cleaner transportation, greater energy independence, and peace of mind when you need it most.
