Last night, Tesla announced the launch of Tesla Energy, which will offer\u00a0solar battery storage systems<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/a>to homes and businesses. Adding battery backup to solar installations is a critical step to increasing grid resiliency and powering our future with clean energy.<\/p>\n

But did you know that there are already solar battery backup systems available for New York and Long Island today?<\/p>\n

We’ve been installing home solar battery systems for years, with many more projects in the works. What makes solar and battery backup a winning mix is that backup batteries can be designed to meet each home’s demands. Scalable solar battery systems let you choose how big of a solar and battery system you’ll need, and how much of your home you’ll be able to power.<\/p>\n

For example, if you wanted to use a solar battery to just keep a few lights on and the fridge cold in the event of an outage, you can choose a smaller system. And if you still want to do all of that with the heat on while browsing Netflix, you can size a system for that, too!<\/p>\n

EmPower Solar’s team has been innovating solar and backup storage for over a decade, starting with America’s first solar-hydrogen home at the 2005 Solar Decathlon. Today, we design and install battery systems that fully integrate with\u00a0home solar<\/a><\/b>, allowing homes to run in the event of a power outage or grid disruption. And soon, EmPower will able to pair battery backup with the most efficient solar panels –\u00a0SunPower<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n
