SunLink offers a variety of solar battery storage choices from Tesla Powerwall to Enphase. Lithium-ion technology is known for its efficiency and longer lifespan compared to lead-acid batteries, making it an ideal energy storage option for solar systems.

There are various incentives available for solar storage, including the Federal Solar Tax Credit that allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the solar energy system cost from federal taxes. This credit decreases to 26% after 2032. Financing a battery through a lease can also lead to lower and more predictable electric bills. Net metering is another incentive that credits excess power back to your bill, but some states have adopted Time-of-Use (TOU) rates that complicate credit calculation. With a battery from SunLink, you can avoid peak TOU rates and save even more on your electric bill

SunLink recommends using its rechargeable solar battery systems in conjunction with the grid to provide reliable backup during outages and when the sun is not shining. This is the most economical and reliable way to use the SunLink system, according to our service experts.

Similar to solar-only systems, the capacity of your solar battery storage system will depend on your individual energy consumption and patterns. Your energy usage at home and the specific appliances and devices you wish to support during an outage are among the factors that will influence your choice of the appropriate battery storage solution.
