Battery FAQs

Do I need solar panels to have a home battery?
No. A home battery can be charged from the grid as well as from solar panels. However, batteries are most effective when paired with solar, as they allow you to store excess generation for later use.

Will a battery eliminate my electricity bill?
A battery can significantly reduce electricity costs, but it usually does not eliminate bills entirely. You may still rely on grid electricity at certain times, especially during high demand or low generation periods.

Can a battery power my whole house?
Some systems can support large portions of a home, but many are configured to supply essential circuits only. This depends on battery size, system design, and whether backup functionality is installed.

Does a battery work during a power cut?
Only if the system is installed with backup capability. Standard systems shut down during power cuts for safety reasons.

Is it bad to fully charge or discharge a battery?
Modern battery systems manage this automatically. Built-in controls prevent extreme charging or deep discharging to protect battery health.

Do batteries make noise?
Home batteries operate quietly. Any noise is usually minimal and comes from cooling systems under certain conditions.

Do batteries require maintenance?
Very little. Most batteries require no regular maintenance beyond basic monitoring through the app.
