The home battery is plenty in the news, and not always in a positive sense. Criticism of misinformation, poor installations and misleading business models is justified. But that doesn’t mean the home battery has no value. The Sustainable Boys list the facts and show when a home battery is indeed interesting.
The facts: what’s the real deal?
Decentralized storage remains crucial
Grid operators recognize that home energy storage plays an important role in the energy transition. By using generated solar energy yourself instead of feeding it back, you relieve pressure on the power grid.
Not all installations are bad
In an emerging market, there are always bad providers who create false expectations or deliver incorrect installations. This distorts the market, but there are also many reliable installers working on future-proof solutions.
Self-consumption is the key
Much negative reporting is about speculative revenue models, presenting the home battery purely as a financial product. But the real power of a home battery is in increasing self-consumption:
- More independence from the net 🔋
- A stable and predictable energy bill 💡
- Smarter use of self-generated power ☀️
