Do I need a battery with my solar system?

A: You don’t need a battery to get started with solar, but it can be a great addition depending on your goals. A standard grid-tied solar system will power your home during the day, and any extra electricity goes back to the grid. If you want to store that extra power for use at night or during a power outage, a battery is the way to go. Batteries add to the cost of the system but provide energy independence, backup power, and more control over how you use your electricity.
