Energy Storage Solutions

Add a home battery and turn your solar system into a 24/7 energy asset. Store daytime production for nighttime use, ride out grid outages, and get more out of every kilowatt hour your panels produce.

Why Home Energy Storage Makes Sense

Solar panels alone are a great start. Pairing them with a battery turns your system into a round the clock energy asset. Storage lets you:

  • Ride out outages, when the grid goes down, your battery keeps essentials running.
  • Use every watt you generate, store midday production and spend it at night.
  • Beat time of use rates, pull from the battery during expensive utility peak hours.
  • Reduce grid dependence, be self sufficient even when weather or the grid isn’t cooperating.

Batteries We Install

The Federal Tax Credit and Home Batteries

Standalone batteries (3 kWh or larger) may qualify for the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit, which can offset part of the total cost, including labor. Credit amounts and eligibility vary and can change over time, confirm current rules with a qualified tax professional. Add a battery with solar and claim it on the same return.

Incentives and financing options vary by location and may change over time. TruLine Solar will help homeowners review programs that may be available for their property. Homeowners should consult a qualified tax professional before relying on any tax related benefit.
