When a Battery Pays Off

  • You use most of your power in the evening and overnight.
  • Your feed-in tariff is low, so exported power earns little.
  • You are on a time-of-use plan with high evening rates.
  • Blackouts are a concern for you.

When It May Not

  • Your evening use is low.
  • Your solar system is small and leaves little surplus.
  • The upfront cost does not suit your budget.
