Solar Backup Allows You To Be In Control

Because of the cost of battery backup, many have opted into staying connected to the grid. This means that when the sun isn’t out you still get your power from the utility.

Not having any backup storage gives the utility some power over you. They determine the rate they are willing to pay for your excess solar production.

Most of the time your production is set at a lower price per watt than the power you pull off the grid (usage). Meaning that when you need to pull power from the grid your excess power doesn’t cover it watt for watt.

To avoid extra cost systems get sized to account for night time usage. If you have backup storage, however, your excess generation won’t get undervalued. And with Go Solar Group you are able to choose the level of backup that will meet your needs.
