Before then, exporting extra solar to the grid earned you near-retail credit — so most homes ran panels alone. Today, under the <strong>Net Billing Tariff<\/strong>, that same exported power is worth only a few cents per kWh, while the electricity you buy back in the evening costs many times more.<\/p>\n <p>A battery closes that gap. It stores the surplus your panels make at midday and releases it in the pricey late-afternoon and evening window — so you’re using your own power instead of buying expensive grid power. That single shift is what turns a solar system from “decent” into a genuinely strong long-term investment in 2026.<\/p>\n <p>And there’s a benefit no export credit ever gave you: when the grid goes down, a properly configured battery keeps your essentials — fridge, Wi-Fi, medical devices, a few lights — running through the outage.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"se-section se-ben\">\n <div class=\"se-wrap\">\n <div class=\"se-section-head\"><p class=\"se-kicker\">What a battery does for you<\/p><h2>Three reasons Bay Area homes add storage<\/h2><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-ben-grid\">\n <div class=\"se-ben-card\">\n <svg class=\"se-ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M26 4L10 26h12l-2 18 16-22H24z\" fill=\"#f07d1a\"\/><\/svg>\n <h3>Beat peak rates<\/h3>\n <p>Store cheap midday sun and run your home through the expensive 4–9 p.m. window instead of buying from the grid.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"se-ben-card\">\n <svg class=\"se-ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M24 4l14 6v10c0 10-6 18-14 22-8-4-14-12-14-22V10z\" fill=\"#1c6fb3\"\/><path d=\"M17 24l5 5 10-11\" stroke=\"#fff\" stroke-width=\"3.2\" fill=\"none\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n <h3>Backup power<\/h3>\n <p>Keep your fridge, internet, and essential circuits alive during PG&E outages and Public Safety Power Shutoffs.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"se-ben-card\">\n <svg class=\"se-ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><circle cx=\"24\" cy=\"24\" r=\"18\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#0e2c4d\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><path d=\"M24 13v11l8 5\" stroke=\"#0e2c4d\" stroke-width=\"3\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n <h3>More self-use, less waste<\/h3>\n <p>Capture the solar you’d otherwise export for pennies, and use far more of what your own roof produces.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"se-section\">\n <div class=\"se-wrap se-narrow\">\n <div class=\"se-section-head\"><p class=\"se-kicker\">Common questions<\/p><h2>Battery storage, answered<\/h2><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-faq-item\"><h3>Do I really need a battery with solar?<\/h3><p>Not strictly — but under the Net Billing Tariff it’s what makes the economics work.

Before then, exporting extra solar to the grid earned you near-retail credit — so most homes ran panels alone. Today, under the <strong>Net Billing Tariff<\/strong>, that same exported power is worth only a few cents per kWh, while the electricity you buy back in the evening costs many times more.<\/p>\n <p>A battery closes that gap. It stores the surplus your panels make at midday and releases it in the pricey late-afternoon and evening window — so you’re using your own power instead of buying expensive grid power. That single shift is what turns a solar system from “decent” into a genuinely strong long-term investment in 2026.<\/p>\n <p>And there’s a benefit no export credit ever gave you: when the grid goes down, a properly configured battery keeps your essentials — fridge, Wi-Fi, medical devices, a few lights — running through the outage.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"se-section se-ben\">\n <div class=\"se-wrap\">\n <div class=\"se-section-head\"><p class=\"se-kicker\">What a battery does for you<\/p><h2>Three reasons Bay Area homes add storage<\/h2><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-ben-grid\">\n <div class=\"se-ben-card\">\n <svg class=\"se-ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M26 4L10 26h12l-2 18 16-22H24z\" fill=\"#f07d1a\"\/><\/svg>\n <h3>Beat peak rates<\/h3>\n <p>Store cheap midday sun and run your home through the expensive 4–9 p.m. window instead of buying from the grid.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"se-ben-card\">\n <svg class=\"se-ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M24 4l14 6v10c0 10-6 18-14 22-8-4-14-12-14-22V10z\" fill=\"#1c6fb3\"\/><path d=\"M17 24l5 5 10-11\" stroke=\"#fff\" stroke-width=\"3.2\" fill=\"none\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n <h3>Backup power<\/h3>\n <p>Keep your fridge, internet, and essential circuits alive during PG&E outages and Public Safety Power Shutoffs.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"se-ben-card\">\n <svg class=\"se-ic\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\" fill=\"none\"><circle cx=\"24\" cy=\"24\" r=\"18\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#0e2c4d\" stroke-width=\"3\"\/><path d=\"M24 13v11l8 5\" stroke=\"#0e2c4d\" stroke-width=\"3\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/><\/svg>\n <h3>More self-use, less waste<\/h3>\n <p>Capture the solar you’d otherwise export for pennies, and use far more of what your own roof produces.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"se-section\">\n <div class=\"se-wrap se-narrow\">\n <div class=\"se-section-head\"><p class=\"se-kicker\">Common questions<\/p><h2>Battery storage, answered<\/h2><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-faq-item\"><h3>Do I really need a battery with solar?<\/h3><p>Not strictly — but under the Net Billing Tariff it’s what makes the economics work. Because exported power now earns only a few cents per kWh, storing your production and using it in peak hours captures far more value than selling it back. Most new Bay Area systems pair solar with a battery for this reason.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-faq-item\"><h3>Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?<\/h3><p>Often yes. Many existing solar setups can be retrofitted with storage, though the details depend on your inverter and panel. If you’re on an older NEM 1.0 or 2.0 agreement, adding a battery can usually be done without losing your grandfathered rate — we’ll confirm before anything changes.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-faq-item\"><h3>How long does a battery keep my home running in an outage?<\/h3><p>It depends on your battery’s capacity and what you’re powering. Sized for essentials — fridge, Wi-Fi, lights, key outlets — a typical home battery can carry you through the evening and overnight, then recharge from your panels the next day. We size backup to your priorities.<\/p><\/div>\n <div class=\"se-faq-item\"><h3>How much does home battery storage cost?<\/h3><p>A battery typically adds a meaningful amount on top of a solar system, varying by capacity and how many you need for backup.
