“It’s nice to know that if there’s an outage we’ll remain seamlessly connected. Having a backup is extra peace of mind that we can continue working and doing what we need to do throughout.”
“For us, batteries complement what we’re doing with regards to solar, gardening, composting, and rainwater harvesting. Sustainability is an every day and every minute thing for us. As responsible inhabitants of this Earth, we have a responsibility to find ways to continue to make it a healthy place to live.”
“I get a great return on investment with my solar panels, and I will install more in a heartbeat when this system is done with. The Powerwall doesn’t necessarily give me that financial return on investment, but it does give me a peace of mind that, to me, is worth just as much. That was my motivator with the Powerwall.”
“I probably wouldn’t have gone solar,” William says, “if I couldn’t get battery storage, as well. My motivation was a combination of factors. … I’ve always liked the idea of generating electricity and after moving to Arizona, with all the sunshine and having a flat roof, it made a lot of sense.”
“My message to someone considering solar and/or battery would be don’t focus too much on the short term payback. It’s an investment in your property, regardless of whether you plan to live in it or sell it.”
