Self Power
It's your solar energy. Keep it and use it whenever you like - night or day. A home battery means no more need to send excess energy back to the utility grid for pennies on the dollar.
Backup power
Keep your family safe and critical home systems up and running when the power grid goes down. Say good bye to black outs and power outages with home energy storage.
Time-of-Use (TOU) Billing
TOU benefits the utility with higher energy rates during peak times of the day. By charging a battery with your solar panels, there's no need for the utility grid and the price increase - you're using your own energy instead. That's control; that's cost savings.
Off Grid
For some people, energy independence is the right energy solution. Call us to see if today's home battery technology makes this the right choice for you.


When integrated with your solar system, Telsa's extraordinary Powerwall home battery technology can provide energy during the night or be your back up energy solution in the event of a power outage. With its built-in battery inverter, Powerwall is compact and easy to install.

What is a Home Battery?
A home battery together with your solar system is your ticket to Energy Independence. It will change everything you know about energy management. Although rudimentary forms of both solar power and batteries have been around over 100 years, only recently has technology and cost converged to combine them into a single system. This powerful combination has the capacity to empower homeowners to generate, store, and use their own electricity independent of the utility companies.
Speak to us about the advantages of generating and storing your own renewable power.
Let one of Baker’s Energy Storage Consultants answer all your questions about home batteries. There are many advantages to an energy storage system; whether you want full off-grid solar, to be ready for a blackout or power outage, or to take advantage of today’s incentive programs, we have a home battery solution for you.
Are there energy storage rebates or incentives? Yes!
The Self-Generation Incentive Program, or SGIP, is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a ratepayer funded program to pay for your home battery! SGIP covers a significant portion of an average sized home battery! This is a limited time rebate, the fund is expected to exhaust quickly, so it’s important that you contact us right away – we’ll handle the registration process, you just receive the check.

Why the best solar systems include a home battery.
Solar power is instantaneous. The very moment solar panels generate it, it’s gone. You have an instant to either put that energy to work or it will find the path of least resistance off your property and back on to the electrical utility grid. This causes two issues for homeowners with solar:
1. They only have access to free, renewable electricity when the sun is shining.
2. They have no control over what time they export their solar energy to the grid.

Self-consumption
Prefer to use your own excess solar power instead of exporting it to the utility companies? Put some of your renewable energy away in your home battery for use in the evening. When your batteries run out of electricity, your system will automatically fall back onto utility grid power.
Peak-shaving
This is a purely economic use for energy storage. Depending on your rate structure, you may be penalized by your utility for using too much power. Your home battery will automatically kick-in before you reach these expensive rate peaks.
Time-of-Use Rate Structures
Live in Southern California Edison (SCE) territory? New solar customers are forced onto Time-of-Use billing under Net Metering 2.0. This means you will get less credit for the solar electricity you export to the grid during the day. Energy storage fixes this problem.
A purely financial reason to get a home battery system. Depending on how utility companies charge for electricity, home batteries can dramatically reduce your energy cost every month. Batteries will soon become the reality for all new solar customers as they are forced into TOU billing, which will decrease the amount of credits they receive for the solar power they put back on the utility grid during the day. If you are looking to go solar, you need to call for more information on why you will need a home battery.
If you live in Riverside or the Inland Empire, energy storage will soon become a standard component of any solar power system.
