Solar Power With Batteries — The Next Step In Powering Your Home
Solar power batteries are the next step in clean energy storage — following solar panel installation — and Switch Solar provides both services!
Once you’ve made the decision to go solar, you’re able to harness the power of the sun and transform it into usable electricity. Most solar power systems are connected to local power grids — any excess energy is typically bought by utilities and back into the grid.
Solar power batteries can be implemented as your system creates surplus energy. Instead of feeding it back to the grid, these batteries store the energy, allowing you to tap into these reserves after dark, in outages, or on a cloudy day.

Embrace The Freedom Of Undisturbed Energy
We heavily rely on power — it’s just a part of modern living — so when it’s interrupted, life is interrupted. Switch Solar provides comprehensive solar power battery options to ensure life goes undisturbed and that you always have access to the electricity you need.
Making The Investment In Solar With Batteries
Just as solar panels were an investment, so too, are solar batteries. When is the investment worth it?
While the decision is personal to each homeowner, there are a variety of reasons many people are opting for solar batteries. Some like the convenience of always having access to energy, while others may rely on the reserve because of the area they’re in. At the end of the day, solar batteries can be a crucial piece to keeping your system running and your home powered.
Power Outages
Some areas are prone to power outages — when the grid fails, you’ll be out of power as well — unless you have a reserve! Solar batteries protect you from power outages, even when the local energy company is out. If you rely on power for work or rely on stable electricity, a solar battery is the perfect solution.
Cloudy Days
There will be cloudy days when your solar panels won’t be able to convert energy and power your home. When this happens you’ll have to rely on the local grid for power. This can be avoided with solar batteries. Instead of selling back excess energy to the local power company, you can store it in solar batteries and use it when needed.
Energy Independence
Many homeowners love the idea of having energy no matter what — it’s the convenience and independence that make a solar battery worth it. If you’re looking for peace of mind knowing that you always have power on tap, solar batteries can make it happen.
Types Of Solar Batteries
The two main solar battery materials used in energy storage are lithium-ion and lead-acid. Before choosing a specific battery for your solar system, it’s crucial to understand the difference between solar batteries types including deep cycle batteries, flooded lead-acid, sealed lead acid, and lithium batteries.
Lithium Batteries (Deep Cycle Batteries)
Lithium batteries are becoming the standard in solar power batteries. They’re typically more expensive but boast a longer lifespan, less maintenance, efficiency, increased usable storage capacity, and no off-gassing.
Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries
Used more in off-the-grid solar setups, flooded lead-acid batteries are inexpensive and require a more hands-on approach to their monitoring.
Sealed Lead-Acid Batteries
Similar to flooded lead-acid batteries in that they’re better in off-grid properties, sealed lead-acid batteries are a great solution for vacation homes or those that aren’t occupied full-time. They’re less maintenance and more self-contained.
Features To Consider When Choosing Solar Power Battery Protection
Deep cycle batteries are the preferred choice in solar power protection as a result of their ability to charge and disperse electricity when needed.
There are a number of features to consider when choosing solar power batteries, with the most common being:
- Power Rating - If you’re looking for a battery to power a majority of your home, consider a solar battery with a high power rating.
- Usable Storage Capacity - The battery’s size or storage capacity is the amount that is available to store and supply your home. For a battery that runs your home longer, look for one with a higher usable capacity.
- Round Trip Efficiency - A battery’s round trip efficiency indicates how many units of electricity you’ll gain access to for every unit of electricity you put into it.
- Life Expectancy - A battery’s longevity is measured through cycles, or how many times you can charge a battery and use the power. You can typically find a life expectancy between five and 10 years.

Solar Panel Batteries Make Life Easier
Switch Solar offers both solar power batteries and solar panel installation, making us the ideal resource for your needs. You may convert the power of the sun into usable electricity once you've decided to go solar; in other words, no matter your specific goals, we can help you level up your energy storage. Most solar power systems are connected to local power grids, with any excess energy typically purchased by utilities and returned to the grid. Solar batteries may be used to store surplus power generated by your system. Instead of sending it back to the grid, these batteries accumulate energy and can be tapped into after dark, in outages, or on a cloudless day.
Simply put, if you’d like to take advantage of the freedom that comes from undisturbed energy, the experts at Switch Solar can help. Backed by years of experience, a passion for our work, and a dedication to putting the needs of our clients first, we’re the team you can trust for all of your solar energy needs.
Looking for a way to reduce or eliminate your electric bill? Solar batteries are the perfect solution for everyone.
Best of all, solar batteries typically pay for themselves in a few years and start paying dividends thereafter.
Solar power helps reduce greenhouse gases and harmful emissions, improving the environment for future generations.
If you’d like to gain independence from utility companies, turn to the team at Switch Solar today to get started making the change.

Lightweight and Energy Dense
The batteries we use for solar storage are smaller and more lightweight than other options, making it easy to install them yourself. They can be mounted on a wall or stored in a corner of a garage or basement without taking up too much room. You may also keep your batteries outside, provided they are protected from the elements.
Solar Batteries Are Eco-Friendly
Solar batteries offer an environmentally friendly energy solution that is comparable with any other green technology available today. Switch Solar's high-quality products will last for years to come without requiring you to dispose of harmful chemicals or materials during operation or recycling at its end of life cycle. By going solar, you can make a positive environmental impact while powering your home!
How to Get Started
Most people who choose solar power with batteries do so because they want to cut back on their environmental footprint. Another reason is that switching to this energy source has saved them money in the long run, making it easier to turn a profit when selling excess electricity back to power. Those who are not connected directly to a power grid will need batteries to store any excess energy that is not being used.
