This question can’t be answered simply in the form of ‘Yes’ or ‘No,’ due to several factors involved. Let’s first understand what solar battery backup system is. It is an array of batteries that store excess power that your solar electric system produces.

In general, you don’t need a battery backup system, as a regular solar electric system is sufficient for your energy needs. A user pulls power from the grid when he/she is not producing power the from the solar systems, such as during night or during cloudy days. The extra power produced and sent to the grid compensates for this difference.

Unless you live in an area where power outages are frequent, you won’t need solar battery backup. They unnecessarily add to your upfront costs. If you are searching for solar providers in Westchester County, New York we are here to help.
