How Solar Panels & Battery Storage Work Together

A solar panel and battery system captures excess electricity produced during the day and stores it for later use. That stored energy can then power your home at night, during high-demand periods, or when grid service is interrupted.

Important note: For safety reasons, standard solar systems shut down during outages. Systems equipped with battery storage allow selected circuits to remain powered.

How the System Functions

  • Step 1.
    Solar panels convert sunlight into usable electricity.

  • Step 2.
    Extra energy is directed into a connected battery.

  • Step 3.
    Stored power supports selected circuits when needed.

  • Step 4.
    Smart controls manage energy use automatically.
