How the pieces fit
Your solar. Your storage.
One connected system.
Your panels, inverter and battery work together. Understanding each part makes it easier to choose the right next step for your home.

SolarEdge inverter02Intelligence
Your inverter and controls manage the flow of power. An installer checks compatibility before adding a battery to an existing system.
Tesla Powerwall03Security
Battery storage can back up selected circuits during an outage. Capacity, charge and system design determine what stays powered and for how long.
Already have solar? Start with compatibility.
Review your solar setup, backup priorities and installation needs.
What storage can change
More of your solar.
More say in your day.
Home storage can help you use solar after sunset and prepare for outages. The right setup depends on your home, electricity rates and backup needs.
Keep your solar for later
Store surplus daytime energy to use when the sun goes down.
Savings depend on your usage and utility tariff.Back up what matters
Plan around essentials like your refrigerator, lighting and internet.
Backup requires compatible equipment and configuration.Build around your home
Explore storage for existing panels or a new solar-and-battery system.
An installer must confirm compatibility and sizing.
Global energy shift
From dial-up power
to fiber-grade freedom.
Today’s solar can do more than generate daytime electricity. Paired with compatible storage and controls, it can help you use more of that energy at home.
Already have panels? You may be able to add storage without replacing them. Start with a compatibility review, not a new-system commitment.

Utility hardware
- Relying on the grid whenever your panels aren’t producing.
- Daytime surplus goes to the grid instead of being stored for later.
- Existing equipment may need a compatibility check before adding storage.
The new standard
Integrated tech
- Store some of your solar energy for evenings and selected backup loads.
- Manage energy use around your needs and applicable utility rates.
- Choose battery capacity and backup circuits around your home, not a generic package.

How solar + storage work
Solar power,
stored for later.
Illustrative flow, not a promise of independence. The grid covers demand your system cannot meet.

Solar through the day
From daylight
to after dark.
Storage can help you use solar after sunset. This cycle is illustrative: weather, home demand and battery charge affect how much grid power you still need.
