SEIA predicts that by 2025, one in every three residential solar systems will be paired with storage. Solar plus storage refers to residential, grid-tied solar electric systems that utilize energy storage in the form of a battery.
Grid-tied solar electric systems with battery backups are essentially the same as straight grid-tied solar electric systems with one key advantage: during grid power outages, the battery bank continues to provide power to either specific electrical circuits or even your whole home.
Customers that experience frequent outages or find that they cannot tolerate even short power outages find this system provides them the added security of an uninterruptible power source.
Solar plus storage can be integrated to maximize what we call "self-consumption" as well. This configuration is beneficial in utility territories that don't provide net-metering and instantaneously devalue any solar energy sent to the grid. Integrating a battery for self-consumption allows you to store energy from your solar before selling back at the devalued rate, thus maintaining your full energy value.
