Reply to comment by StankyDudeHoleDandy in Apologies for yet another thread on the new electricity rates coming our way, but for anyone who has yet to switch away from Eversource, I just did it and it took all of two minutes and will save my wife and I tons of money by mikemikemikeandike

Can you tell me more about a while home battery backup? Is it a solar powered storage and who would install it, where would I purchase? Thanks!

Yes the battery is charged by solar, however it can also be fed by the grind if you wanted to for some random reason. The DC power runs to the inverter from your panels than once converted to AC power it charges the battery. You can monitor the power draw of your house and the amount of solar energy collected through an App on your phone or computer. Companies like Tesla have solar and batterie packages for sale on their website, but I know the solar company SunRun also sells and installs Teslas Power Walls with their own solar arrays.
