Home energy storage is becoming increasingly popular among our customers. Adding a solar energy storage system to your home can really make a difference, especially for those looking to leverage solar power at night or for backup power during a grid outage.
We consider sun exposure and shading, panel layout, roof condition, and your family’s unique energy needs to design your optimal, customized solar system. Behind the scenes, we work with local utilities, city inspectors, HOAs and AHJs to ensure all proper permits and approvals are in place.
A regular solar system can’t provide power to your home during blackouts, but a system with batteries can. For example, in California, public safety power shutdowns cause frequent blackouts in the fall during hot, windy days. If the electrical grid where you live is unreliable, home batteries could be the right choice to ensure reliable power for your home.
Home energy storage may make sense for you if you have critical electrical needs. If you have a blackout, batteries can keep that equipment operating. For example, home medical equipment that must remain powered on, or a fridge full of food too good to waste.
Home batteries are eligible for the federal tax credit for renewable energy. Even if you’ve already gone solar and taken advantage of this incentive, you may be eligible to collect it again if you add batteries to your solar system. The federal renewable energy tax credit will be reduced in future years, and after that, it will be phased out entirely. Currently, the tax credit will cover 26% of the installed cost of the batteries. You have to act soon!

Freedom Forever installs best-in-class solar energy storage systems to meet the growing need for energy reliability. We install the LG Chem Cell battery as well as the Tesla Powerwall, an industry-leading home battery system.
The great thing about the Tesla Powerwall is that your system can be expanded to provide as much battery capacity as you want. (You could even install enough battery capacity to entirely power your home!)
