One Battery, Two Ways to Win
Most backup options only do one thing. A home battery does two.
● Backup power: When the grid drops, your battery keeps your essentials running, quietly and instantly, with no fuel and no noise.
● Lower everyday bills: Store cheap or solar-made energy and use it during expensive peak hours instead of buying from the grid.
● It works for you all year: Unlike a generator that only earns its keep during an outage, a battery pays off every single day.
Why a Battery Makes Sense in 2026
The rules for solar changed. Sending extra power back to the grid pays far less than it used to, so the smart move now is to keep the energy you make and use it yourself. A battery lets you do exactly that: store your solar or off-peak power and draw on it when rates are highest.
For most Sacramento homes, that is where the real savings now live. See our NEM 3.0 guide for how the current rules work.
Your Battery Can Even Pay You Back
Beyond the savings, some utility programs reward battery owners for sharing a little stored energy at peak times, turning your battery into a small source of income. We can tell you which programs you may qualify for and help you enroll.
Batteries Built for Your Home
We install leading home battery systems, sized to what you want to back up and how much you want to save. Whether you need a single unit to cover the essentials or a larger setup to run most of your home, we help you choose the right capacity and add more storage if you need it.
Already Have Solar? Add a Battery.
You do not need a whole new system to get storage. We can add a battery to most existing solar setups, including older ones, so you finally capture the power your panels make instead of exporting it for a low credit. If your solar predates the current rules, a battery is often the single best upgrade you can make.
Why Choose Solectric for Battery Storage

FAQs
How much does a home battery cost to install?
It depends on the capacity you choose, whether you are adding it to existing solar, and any electrical work needed. We give you a clear, itemized quote up front at no cost.
How big a battery do I need?
It depends on what you want to back up and how much you want to save. A smaller battery can cover essentials like your fridge, internet, and some lights, while a larger setup can run most of your home. We size it with you.
Will a battery run my whole house?
It can, with enough capacity. Many homeowners back up essential circuits to keep costs down, and we help you decide what makes sense for your home.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar?
Usually, yes. We retrofit batteries onto most existing solar systems, including older ones, and it is often the best upgrade for solar installed under the older rules.
Is a battery worth it under NEM 3.0?
For many homes, yes. Because exporting to the grid pays little now, storing your own power and using it at peak is where the savings are. We will model your numbers before you commit.
What is the best home battery in 2026?
There is no single winner. The best home battery for you depends on your home, your goals, and your budget. We walk you through the strongest options and help you choose the right fit.
Are there rebates for home batteries?
Sometimes. Battery incentives change often and depend on your utility and eligibility. We track what currently applies and include it in your quote.
