Since solar batteries are part of a complex home energy system that heavily depends on an individual home’s energy needs and solar panels.
How we evaluated the best solar batteries
First let’s be clear: Not every solar battery is right for every home. Solar is a very site-specific and personalized decision process, so it’s a little tricky to pinpoint exactly which solar battery is the “best” battery for your home’s energy needs without doing an on-site consultation.
It should also be said that we didn’t have any form of hands-on testing with any of the batteries we scored. This methodology also assumes you’re purchasing a battery for the main purpose of using it for energy backup. If you mainly plan to use your battery for energy offset or to take part in a virtual power plant, there are likely better options than what we have featured in our reviews and rankings. We strongly encourage you to do your own research, as well as to speak with installers in your area. An installer will be able to get a better understanding of your home’s energy use and what sort of system you might need.
