Power Your Home with Battery Storage
Residential Battery Storage
Are you looking to install a battery system to store the excess energy produced by your solar panels? There has never been a better time to explore the benefits of residential battery storage installation and how a home battery storage system can improve your home’s energy efficiency and reliability.
While solar panel installation is an important step toward renewable energy, it’s only part of the solution. To truly take control of your energy use and move closer to energy independence, many homeowners are adding home battery storage installation to their solar systems.
With residential battery storage, you can store the extra energy your solar panels produce and use it later when you need it most—such as during peak electricity rates or power outages.
Residential battery storage is the next step in smart energy management. If you’re wondering whether home battery storage is right for your home, contact Porter Electrical Contracting today and speak with one of our renewable energy experts.

WHy Should You Think About Battery Storage For Your Home?
4 Benefits to Home Battery Storage Installation
Save Money and Offset Electricity Bill
1. Save More with Home Battery Storage
If your solar system doesn’t fully eliminate your electric bill, home battery storage can help you maximize your savings. With residential battery storage, excess energy produced by your solar panels during sunny periods is stored instead of being sent back to the grid.
This stored energy can then be used when your home needs more power—such as at night or during months when solar production is lower. By balancing high-production months with higher-consumption periods, home battery storage helps homeowners reduce utility costs, offset seasonal energy differences, and potentially achieve net-zero electricity usage over the year.


Store and Use Excess Energy When You choose To
2. Achieve Energy Independence with Home Battery Storage
Rising electricity costs can make it difficult to control your household energy expenses. By combining solar panels with home battery storage, homeowners can store excess solar energy and rely less on the utility grid. Residential battery storage gives you greater control over how and when your home uses energy, helping protect you from fluctuating electricity rates.
When your solar panels produce more energy than your home needs, home battery storage systems capture that power for later use. During evenings, cloudy days, or periods of high electricity demand, your residential battery storage system supplies stored energy—helping you maintain energy independence while maximizing the value of your solar investment.
Enjoy Uninterrupted Energy Use During Outages
3. Reliable Backup Power with Home Battery Storage
Power outages can disrupt your home, work, and daily routines—especially as more devices rely on electricity, Wi-Fi, and smart home technology. With home battery storage, you can keep essential systems running even when the grid goes down. Residential battery storage provides dependable backup power so your home stays connected and comfortable during unexpected outages.
When your solar panels generate excess energy, your home battery storage system stores that power for later use. During a power outage, the residential battery storage system automatically supplies stored energy to your home, helping you avoid interruptions and maintain reliable power when you need it most.


Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
4. Support The Environment
Installing home battery storage doesn’t just benefit your home—it also helps protect the environment. By pairing solar panels with residential battery storage, you can store clean, renewable energy generated by your system and use it when your home needs power most.
With home battery storage, you rely less on electricity produced by fossil fuels and more on the clean energy your solar panels generate. This helps lower greenhouse gas emissions, reduce your carbon footprint, and supports a more sustainable energy future for your home and community.

FAQs About Battery Storage
Your energy usage, the size of your solar panel system, and how much backup power you want during outages will determine the required battery capacity.
When solar batteries are full, excess solar power is exported to the grid or used for other loads.
High power usage within your home or business can strain your solar battery system. Appliances and devices that require a large amount of energy, such as air conditioners or electric heaters can drain the battery quickly if used excessively.
The average solar battery is around 10 kWh. To save the most money possible, you’ll need 2-3 batteries to cover your energy usage when your solar panels aren’t producing. You’ll usually only need one solar battery to keep the power on when the grid is down.
You do have the option to charge the solar battery using electricity from the local power grid. But it is essential to note that this process allows an electric current to flow through the battery. Thus, charging your solar battery with electricity is a partial solution to maintain a full charge at all times.

We've had quite a bit of work on our house in the past year and have had half a dozen contractors working on various projects. By far, Porter Electric was the easiest contractor to deal with and also the contractor that we had the most confidence in. The communication was great from the initial quote to the final approvals. The workmanship is top notch and we have had zero issues with the system. We are so happy with the results that we have reached out to them for another project.Posted onGavin BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Porter Electrical taking care of our solar installation. Good price, excellent work, and a smooth process. We highly recommend them.Posted onDoris JurissonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Porter Electric was great to work with. I would use them again and have referred them to a friend. They communicated well, answered all our questions and handled all the paperwork and permitting. We have a historic house so worried about how the panels would look and they did a great job. They also had the best price per KWh.Posted onMary LaRockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I love my solar installation!! I have had 3 months this summer with my electric bill being $0. So far everything has been working perfectly! No problems or issues whatsoever. I’m very pleased with my system.Posted onChris HebertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Porter to anyone, their expertise and attention to detail are top notch! They take the time to do things right and take pride in it and that's hard to find these days.Posted onpeter vTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our solar system install was just completed and the crew did an amazing job. Both with the quality of work and the site clean up. Also, I asked many questions as the install was underway and they were all received and responded to in a timely and useful manner. Could not have asked for a more professional crew. This install was done in Chichester NH and I would highly recommend Porter Electric for any of your solar and electrical needs. Schedules were kept and completion was done on time as promised. The office staff at Porter was also very helpful and guided us thru the process from start to finish.Posted onKyle PepinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional, would recommend to friends and family!Posted onBill GoldsworthyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris Porter and his team at Porter Electric were excellent to work with. They worked with us to optimize a 10.2 kW system with 2 Enphase batteries for backup electricity. Outlaying a substantial initial investment, finding the right installer who is knowledgeable, and trusting the project would not run into unknown issues was a large concern for our family. From initial contact through the design and build process, Porter Electric exceeded our expectations. Communication was constant, thorough, and helped allay the concerns we may have had. Their work was efficient, and their crew was exceptionally clean with their work. They answered all of our questions and helped us understand everything about our system. After installation, we experienced a delay in meter installation through our electric supplier. However, Tara and the team of professionals at Porter Electric remained in contact with our electric supplier to keep our project moving forward. We are not only generating the power we use every day, but we are also returning to the grid the extra 30% we have been producing. We highly recommend Porter Electric for your solar and electrical needs.Posted onRaymond E. Leavitt JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
