Installing solar energy storage in Michigan provides reliable power during outages often caused by severe weather. It allows you to store excess energy and consume more of your own energy from your solar panels, lowering your energy bills. Also, it increases your energy independence and offers greater peace of mind.

Your energy storage system will work when the power goes out, so you will have reliable backup power for your home. However, depending on the size of your solar batteries and amount of available sunlight, you might need to prioritize which loads have power. This ensure your essential appliances are running, enhances your energy independence, and offers peace of mind during grid outages.

The federal government offers a 30% tax credit for installing a solar energy system or adding battery storage to your existing solar system. The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a dollar-for-dollar tax credit that can be applied to your federal income taxes. So, if you invest $18,000 in solar battery backup, including equipment and labor, you can qualify for a $5,400 tax credit.

Advanced solar storage batteries commonly last for ten to 15 years, depending on the type of battery and use. The lithium solar batteries that GreenLancer installs typically last longer than lead-acid batteries and require very little maintenance.

The cost of solar energy storage varies widely depending on the number of batteries you install and the manufacturer. For example, installing one solar battery for partial-home backup costs less than installing multiple batteries for whole-home backup.
