Battery Storage Benefits
Reliable Backup During Outages
Battery storage systems provide backup power when the grid goes down, keeping essential appliances and devices running during emergencies. This is especially valuable in areas prone to blackouts or during unexpected power interruptions.
Reduced Utility Bills
With California’s tiered electricity pricing and NEM policies, battery storage allows you to store excess energy generated during the day and use it during peak times, when electricity costs are higher. This maximizes savings and reduces reliance on the grid.
Energy Independence
By pairing solar with battery storage, you gain more control over your energy supply, allowing you to use your stored power instead of grid energy when rates are high or during evening hours.
Adaptability to Net Metering 3 (NEM 3)
California’s transition from NEM 2 to NEM 3 means battery storage is more critical than ever. With NEM 3, energy credits are less favorable, so batteries help homeowners optimize self-consumption, minimizing the amount of energy returned to the grid.

Battery Storage Solutions Tailored to NEM 2 and NEM 3
Tesla Powerwall 3
-
Net Metering 2 (NEM 2): NEM 2 allows homeowners to earn credits at retail rates for excess energy sent back to the grid. While NEM 2 users can still benefit from battery storage, the focus is often on maximizing these credits by managing when stored energy is used.
-
Net Metering 3 (NEM 3): With NEM 3, credits are lower, which means homeowners benefit more from storing excess solar power and using it during peak demand times or after sunset. Batteries enable NEM 3 users to achieve greater energy self-consumption, minimizing the energy returned to the grid and maximizing the financial benefits of their solar system.
-
Battery Storage for Utility Cost Optimization: By storing energy and using it when rates are highest (typically in the evening), battery storage helps manage energy bills and increase savings. This is especially useful under California’s Time-of-Use (TOU) rates, where electricity costs vary depending on the time of day.
-
Backup During Outages: For homeowners in areas with frequent outages, battery storage offers a dependable solution to stay powered, maintaining essential functions like refrigeration, lighting, and communication devices, regardless of NEM policy. Batteries can be programmed to reserve a portion of their capacity exclusively for emergency use, ensuring you’re prepared for unexpected grid disruptions.
With Silverline Solar’s range of battery options and expertise in California’s regulatory environment, homeowners can find a battery solution that not only fits their energy needs but also maximizes the financial benefits of solar under current NEM policies.
