Automate Savings and Enhance Sustainability
Our high-quality storage solutions integrate seamlessly with your solar system to store the excess energy it generates, allowing you to access clean electricity anytime of the day or night. Adding a battery to your clean energy ecosystem gives you even more freedom from your utility and significantly reduces your carbon footprint.
Worry-free Technology
Our solar batteries are programmed to automatically store your excess clean energy for use when you need it most. Sit back and relax while our solutions do the work!
Exceptional Quality
As a leader in clean energy, we work only with trusted, reliable brands. Our storage solutions include offerings from LG Chem, Sonnen, and Tesla.
Smart Energy Management
Your battery and solar technologies are connected to a smart energy management system, which allows them to work seamlessly to maximize self-consumption of clean energy in the home.
Our Storage Solutions
Let’s Find the Best Storage Solution for Your Home
When it comes to energy storage, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Much like your solar system, battery technologies must be carefully sized according to your household’s daily electricity needs. Younergy’s wide range of solar battery offerings are available in multiple capacities, and our experts are here to help you determine which solution is right for your home.
Benefits at a Glance
While switching to solar energy is one of the smartest choices you can make for your home (and the environment), adding a storage solution will take your investment to the next level. These battery technologies allow you to consume every green kilowatt-hour generated by your solar system, moving you one step closer to energy independence.
Greater freedom from your utility
The excess energy produced by your solar panels is automatically stored in your batteries to power your home day or night, reducing dependence on your local power company.
Safeguard against blackouts
Smart storage technologies can automatically power your home during utility outages, keeping your essential appliances and devices up and running in the event of a blackout.
Reduce your energy bills
Whereas peak solar energy generation occurs during midday, peak home energy consumption typically happens in the mornings and evenings. By pairing your solar system with a battery, you can access low-cost clean electricity when you need it most and avoid higher utility rates.
Flexible financing options
We strive to enable our customers to build their energy ecosystems on their own terms. Younergy’s energy storage options are compatible with both our Solar Abo and Solar Direct products.
How Does Energy Storage Work?
While the average home consumes more electricity in the morning and evening hours, solar energy is most plentiful during the day. Battery solutions overcome this intermittency challenge by storing excess clean energy during the day for use during more active times in your household.
Energy storage maximizes the economic and environmental benefits of your solar system, without any hassle!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does battery storage work?
How does battery storage work?
Solar batteries are equipped with intelligent software that recognizes when a solar system is generating more electricity than the home can immediately consume. When this happens, the software instructs the battery to absorb this extra energy. Then, when the home requires more electricity than is immediately available from the solar system, the battery is instructed to deliver the previously stored energy to the point of need. When the battery is depleted, your home will draw power from the utility as usual, and the battery will recharge the next day.
What is energy storage (or a solar battery)?
The primary challenge for solar power is that the sun is an intermittent source of energy — the sun is available for a finite amount of time each day, and its peak output varies during daylight hours. Without a battery solution, solar customers must either immediately consume the energy generated by their systems, or send the excess energy back to the grid. With a battery technology in place, customers can automatically store their excess solar energy for use at a later time.
When does a battery storage solution pay off?
While peak solar energy generation occurs during the day, the majority of homes require more electricity during the morning and evening hours. Without an integrated battery solution, any excess energy generated by your solar system will be sent immediately back to the electrical grid. You will be remunerated for this contribution, but at a low rate. Incorporating a battery into a solar system helps customers achieve the full economic benefits of clean energy by capturing excess generation for later use and avoiding higher rates for electricity from the grid.
How does the installation process work?
Before installation, the Younergy team will work with you to determine which battery technology is right for your home. We offer both AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) energy storage systems, which use different inverter configurations to enable the safe, efficient flow of energy across your solar system, your battery, and your home. The technology used will depend on several factors, including whether the battery is being installed as part of a new solar system, or as a retrofit of an existing solar system. No matter the technology you choose, our experts will manage a swift, hassle-free installation process, which is typically completed in less than a day.
