Battery storage with subscription solar

Do subscription solar plans include a battery?

Where it's offered, yes. Battery storage is provided as part of the subscription, not sold or financed as a separate purchase. It sits alongside your panels under the same plan, at $0 upfront. Whether a battery is included for your specific address is a coverage question, not a universal yes, and the details come back with the rest of your quote.

Who owns and maintains the battery?

Exactly like the panels, the provider owns the battery. You never buy it, finance it, or maintain it yourself. The provider insures it, services it, and handles repairs as part of the subscription, the same coverage that already applies to the rest of the system. If something needs attention, that's the provider's job, not a bill that lands in your inbox.

What does backup power cost?

There's no separate purchase and no upfront cost for the battery. $0 down, same as the panels. Where it's included, it's built into the subscription rather than billed as an add-on later. Whether a battery comes with your specific plan, and what it's sized for, is a detail your quote spells out for your home, your provider, and your address.

What happens during an outage?

When the grid goes down, a battery lets your home draw on stored power instead of going dark. It keeps essential circuits running while the outage lasts, and sometimes more than that. That matters on a grid that has had real events in recent years. We won't put a performance number on it here; ask what a battery would cover for your specific home when you get your quote.

Where is battery storage available?

Batteries are now offered in Texas, Florida, and Illinois. Exact availability and sizing for your address come back on your quote. Coverage and sizing vary by utility and by home, so the honest answer for your address comes from a real quote, not a blanket claim about every zip code.
