Solar Panels
Why get battery storage?
Purchasing a solar panel system will put you in control of generating your own electricity. You can opt to have a custom-built system customized to your household’s individual needs. For example, some choose to add a few panels to offset the cost, reducing their bill by 50% while others want a system that covers 100% of their energy bill. This tailor-made approach saves money while also keeping your budget in mind. Diamond Solar Solutions will complete a digital assessment of your home that estimates the ideal system size using your previous year’s monthly electric bills. This assessment provides a 3D, bird's-eye-view of your home to calculate the impact shade might have on the panel production. With this information you are provided with a custom solar panel system for your home with the desired energy production.
With that said, one thing to keep in mind is that excess electricity generated from your system goes back to the grid. You do get credit for this excess energy however the credit you receive is credited back to you at a much lower rate than the kWh rate that PG&E charges for energy. Also, should there be a power outage you will be unable to use the power generated from your solar panels. So, what’s the solution? Battery backup!
Solar + Battery Backup
Solar panels will at times generate more power than needed and then less at other times. A solar plus battery backup system allows storage of the extra solar power generated by your solar panels for use at times when they aren’t as productive or during a power outage. Combining solar + battery backup is the ideal solution!
Why choose solar + battery backup?
Energy independence from PG&E
Safety and security from power outages, PSPS, or rolling blackouts
Long-term savings
Protect yourself from large increases in PG&E electric rates
For those on a fixed income, rates won’t change
Reduce your carbon footprint
Tax incentives: With the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), you may be eligible for a tax credit of up to 30% against the cost of the system
Freedom and independence from the grid!
