Yes! Many homeowners use batteries without solar to store energy from the grid during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper — then use it during peak times to reduce their bill. It's called load shifting and it works especially well with utility providers like APS or SRP that have time-of-use pricing.

Absolutely — especially if you’re on a time-of-use plan or demand charges. Your battery can help:

• - Avoid high-cost energy times

• - Reduce your peak usage

• - Lower your monthly bill without needing solar panels

Your battery can serve as a backup power source during outages, keeping your lights, fridge, Wi-Fi, and other essentials running — even if the grid goes down. You don’t need solar to benefit from backup protection.

Yes! The 30% federal tax credit (ITC) applies to standalone battery systems as of 2023. Some states and local utilities (including APS and SRP) also offer rebates or performance incentives for energy storage systems — even without solar.

Most home batteries last 10–15 years and come with solid warranties. Depending on the size, they can power:

• - A few essential circuits (fridge, outlets, Wi-Fi)

• - Or your entire home (with larger systems or stacked batteries)
