Why compare solar + battery together?
Solar produces during the day. Batteries can store energy for evening use, backup needs, and participation in eligible battery programs.
☀
Daytime production
Solar can offset daytime usage and help produce energy when Sacramento sun is strongest.
◐
Evening use
A battery may store excess solar energy for later use when household demand often rises.
⎋
Backup needs
Battery design can be compared against outage priorities, critical loads, and eligible program participation.
