Storage Economics

The Battery Storage Revolution

As utility net metering policies transition from 1:1 retail credits to wholesale avoided-cost billing (NEM 3.0), intelligent Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) storage systems have become essential to maximizing solar ROI.

  • โœ“ Peak Shaving: Discharges battery reserves during high-cost 4 PMโ€“9 PM on-peak hours to avoid 50ยขโ€“65ยข/kWh grid import rates.
  • โœ“ 100% Self-Consumption: Eliminates low 3ยขโ€“5ยข/kWh wholesale export credits by keeping your own solar power on-site.
  • โœ“ Blackout Resilience: Powers critical circuits (refrigeration, medical CPAP, lighting, Wi-Fi) indefinitely during grid outages.
