What is Off-Grid Power?

When you hear the term, “off-grid”, what comes to mind? Perhaps a cabin in the woods, far away from civilization? For some of us, the idea is incredibly appealing, but for others, a grocery store within 10 miles is more appealing. Before you pack up the family and head out west, consider that “off-grid” power is also available in your current home through many different options.  A battery backup system is a great option for both grid-tied, and off-grid options. Many customers choose to have a hybrid system, which is a solar array with a battery backup system that are both grid-tied and off-grid.

How do energy storage systems work?

The solar array on your roof, or in your yard, is more often than not tied into the grid, this is especially important if you are involved in net metering with your utility provider. The power produced by your solar array may be more than your home uses in a given day, this power is then sent back out to the grid and the homeowner receives a bill credit. The credit varies by utility provider, on and off peak times, and current rates.  The inclusion of a battery backup system means that power you produce, but do not use, can be stored and used during lower production times, such as in the evening hours, or on overcast days. The battery backup can also provide power to your home during a power outage.   

What are the benefits?

There are many benefits to installing an energy storage system for your home. Having the battery system allows you to store your own surplus energy to be used when needed. It also allows you to take advantage of off-peak utility pricing. The surplus power you store can be used during higher energy demand periods, such as the summer months. Battery systems make it possible for the homeowner to pull from the grid less often during on peak times, thus, saving you even more.  Depending on the size of the battery bank you choose, and the items you choose to power during an outage, a battery system can also provide a few hours, to a few days of power.
