Home Solar Battery Storage Systems Are Coming

Check out the next episode of The Energy Show on Renewable Energy World with your host Barry Cinnamon and special guest Neil McGuire, CEO of JuiceBox.


Before net metering, the only way to store daytime-produced solar energy was to use a battery storage system. These systems — generally composed of a bank of lead-acid batteries, a charge controller, solar panels and an inverter — continue to be popular for off-grid use. However, net metering is more efficient (zero round-trip energy loss) and less expensive (no batteries or maintenance required), so the fastest growth over the last decade has been in grid-connected net metered systems.
