The role of battery storage
Good for Your Goals. Designed for Your Home.
Greater Control
Explore how storage can change when energy is used.
Backup Planning
Prioritize essential loads with a project-specific design.
Home Resilience
Coordinate storage around household priorities.
Rate Strategy
Discuss load shifting under current utility rules.
Cleaner Energy Use
Use more locally generated energy when conditions allow.
How storage fits
Store Energy. Plan for Resilience.
A battery system can coordinate available solar energy around selected household priorities when the approved design supports it.
- Review current utility rate structures
- Identify selected essential loads
- Confirm compatible storage options
- Document the approved equipment configuration
How Battery Storage Works
Coordinate available solar energy, storage, household use, and utility service. Outage behavior depends on the approved system design.

Property-specific planning
Choosing a Home Battery Storage System
Start with the loads and outcomes that matter, then verify the electrical and equipment details for the property.
Backup Goals and Loads
Identify essential loads, the desired backup goal, and the duration you want to plan around. Actual backup capability and runtime depend on the approved design, conditions during an outage, and available stored energy.
Power and Energy Capacity
Power capacity affects what the system can run at one time, while energy capacity affects how much stored energy is available. Both require project-specific review.
Solar and Electrical Fit
Existing versus new solar, electrical conditions, installation location, and equipment compatibility all shape the available configuration.
Battery Backup, Solar Self-Consumption, and Rate Planning
Battery Backup
Prioritize selected loads for outage planning. Whole-home coverage, runtime, and outage performance are not assumed and must be confirmed in the approved design.
Solar Self-Consumption
Store available solar energy for later household use when the compatible system, operating conditions, and approved configuration support it.
Utility-Rate Planning
Review whether shifting energy use may fit the current utility rate structure. Savings and rate outcomes are not guaranteed.
Battery Cost and Financing Factors
Battery cost can vary with usable capacity, power requirements, selected loads, electrical work, installation location, equipment compatibility, and whether storage is added to existing or new solar. Review solar cost and savings factors and compare solar financing options; availability, qualification, payment terms, and savings are not guaranteed.
Home Battery Questions
The final answer depends on the home's loads, electrical conditions, compatible equipment, and approved project design.
Can a battery power my whole home?
It depends on the home's loads, the system's power and energy capacity, electrical configuration, and the approved backup scope. Whole-home capability and runtime cannot be assumed before a property-specific design review.
How many batteries might I need?
The number depends on the selected loads, desired backup goals and duration, equipment power and energy capacity, installation conditions, and compatible system design.
Can a battery be added to existing solar?
It may be possible after reviewing the existing solar equipment, electrical configuration, interconnection requirements, installation location, and current compatibility information.
What happens during a grid outage?
A properly configured system may isolate from the grid and serve the loads included in its approved backup design. Available energy, load demand, equipment behavior, and outage conditions affect performance; runtime and solar recharge are not guaranteed.
Which battery models are currently available?
Model availability and compatibility can change. Sunburst confirms currently offered, compatible equipment for the property and project before identifying a model in project documents.
