How a Solar Battery Works with Your Home (and the Grid)
A solar battery backup installation connects to your home’s electrical system to store extra energy and provide power when you need it most. Here’s how it works:
- Charging: Your battery charges from your solar panels during the day or from the grid during off-peak hours when electricity costs may be lower.
- Powering essentials: During a power outage, your battery automatically kicks in to power important things like your refrigerator, lights, Wi-Fi router, sump pump, and medical devices.
- Saving money: Your battery can also discharge during peak-rate windows (where your utility charges more for electricity) to help lower your monthly bills.
- Growing adoption: Storage adoption is accelerating nationwide, with records set in 2024 and continuing in 2025.
Modern solar battery backup installation systems work with new residential solar panels or can be added to your existing solar system.

Solar Battery Tax Credit and Installation Incentives 2025
The federal government offers incentives to help you afford solar battery backup installation.
Federal tax credit basics. The Residential Clean Energy Credit currently offers a 30% credit for qualified battery storage systems. This means you could receive 30% of your total system cost back as a tax credit. The credit is scheduled at 30% through 2032.
Always verify before you buy. Tax rules can change, so confirm the latest IRS guidance when you’re ready to purchase and install. We recommend talking with your tax professional about your specific situation.
State and utility rebates. Many states and electric companies offer additional rebates for battery installations. Check the DSIRE database for current programs in your area.
Solar Battery Installation Cost and Return on Investment
Every home is different, so your solar battery backup installation cost depends on several factors.
What affects your price. Battery size (measured in kWh), the number of circuits you want backed up, any electrical upgrades needed, and available incentives all play a role. A basic system backing up essential circuits costs less than a whole-home setup.
How you save money. Your battery pays for itself through outage protection value (avoiding spoiled food, lost work time, and stress), time-of-use rate savings, and utility rebates where available.
We do the math for you. During your free consultation, we model exactly how long your battery will run based on your actual usage. We also calculate your return on investment using your real electric bills—no guessing involved. Upload a recent bill on our contact page to get started.

FAQs
Q. Do I need solar panels to add a battery?
Not always. Standalone batteries can qualify for the federal tax credit when certain IRS requirements are met. We confirm your eligibility during your free proposal. However, pairing your battery with solar panels gives you the best value—your panels charge the battery during the day, and you get backup power plus lower electric bills.
Q. How long can a 10-15 kWh battery power essentials?
Often 8-24+ hours for critical loads like refrigerators, lights, Wi-Fi routers, phone chargers, and medical devices, depending on usage and what you back up. Your actual runtime depends on what you choose to back up and how much electricity those items use. We model this specifically for your home during your consultation—no guesswork involved.
Q. How many batteries do I need?
It depends on your essential circuits and how long you want power during an outage. One battery typically handles refrigerators, lights, routers, and a few outlets. If you want to power your garage door, sump pump, well pump, or air conditioning, you might need additional batteries. We right-size your system based on your priorities and budget.
Q. Is a battery safe?
Yes. Modern lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery systems include advanced safety protections like temperature monitoring, overcharge prevention, and automatic shut-offs. NeoVolta systems are engineered for home safety and durability when installed by certified professionals. LFP chemistry is designed with safety as a priority.
