Frequently Asked Questions

How much battery storage do I need in Texas?

Most Texas homes are well-served by 10-13.5 kWh of usable storage - enough to cover essential loads (fridge, lights, internet, well pump, a few outlets) through an overnight or short outage. Whole-home backup typically requires 20-30+ kWh and is more common where outages are frequent or long.

Does the 30% federal tax credit cover the battery?

Yes - the Inflation Reduction Act expanded the 25D residential clean energy credit to cover standalone batteries (3 kWh and larger) as well as solar+battery installations. TX homeowners can claim 30% of the full battery system cost on federal taxes.

Which battery brands work best?

The most common residential batteries in Texas are Tesla Powerwall (3, P), Enphase IQ Battery 5P/10C, Franklin aPower, and SolarEdge Energy Bank. Brand choice usually depends on your inverter ecosystem - check with your installer about compatibility with existing or planned solar.
