A 9-kilowatt “solar array + storage system,”
. . . covers the energy needs of the average New England home.
There is one major drawback to grid connection:
. . . when the power goes out, so does the electricity from solar panels.
. . . Battery storage, though, keeps the lights on.
. . . And because of a spike in power outages,
. . . consumers have been asking solar installers about battery backup.
Most solar + storage systems,
. . . exceed the cost of a portable gas generator, adding between
. . . $8,400 and $12,000 after tax credits, to the price of a residential solar array.
But prices are expected to drop drastically,
. . . as Tesla, and other battery manufactures,
. . . build massive factories to increase the supply of
. . . cheaper and more powerful storage units.
