Battery backup puts you in charge of when and how you use power in your own home.

How your home battery adapts to you

Choose which settings and programs you enroll your battery in for your needs to give you the most control and confidence. Our experts will help configure your system to suit your lifestyle:

  • Storm Watch Mode
    When extreme weather is in the forecast, your battery will fully charge in preparation for a power outage to ensure your home stays powered.
  • Self-Powered Mode
    Prioritizes storing excess solar energy generated during the day, which is then used to power your home at night or when solar isn’t producing. Helps reduce grid consumption and increase solar self-consumption.
  • Time-Based Control
    Charges when electricity costs are low, or when solar production is high, and discharges during high-cost periods – helping you increase savings on electric bills.

System is working GREAT!!!

Waited a while to see how everything worked before doing this review…so sorry for the wait. I am especially pleased with the Tesla Powerwall. The battery runs the house all night, going down to about 80%, then recharges to full capacity usually by noon. No full sun required. Even on overcast days, it charges up nicely. I have been totally self-sufficient from the day it was installed. Just awesome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a home battery replace a generator during power loss?

A home battery can replace a generator during power loss, providing a cleaner, quieter, and more efficient solution. It stores energy—often from solar panels—and powers essential systems instantly during outages. With no noise or emissions, a home battery can keep your home running for hours or days, depending on capacity, and recharges automatically when power is restored or through solar.

Do Venture Home’s energy storage solutions contain lithium-ion batteries?

Both the Enphase Home Battery and the Tesla Powerwall utilize lithium-ion battery technology. The Enphase IQ Batteries employ lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, known for its stability and longevity. Similarly, the Tesla Powerwall 3 has transitioned to LFP cells, enhancing safety and durability.

Can I get a home battery if I already have a Venture Home system?

If you already have a Venture Home solar panel system, adding a home battery is simple and seamless. Our team can assess your current setup, recommend the best battery options for your energy needs, and integrate the battery with your existing system. This allows you to store excess solar energy, ensuring power during outages and maximizing your solar investment. Enjoy added resilience and savings without a full system overhaul!

Can I go completely off-grid with a home battery?

While home batteries like the Tesla Powerwall or Enphase systems provide reliable backup power, going fully off-grid typically requires a robust solar and battery array, along with careful management of energy usage. Venture Home can work with you to design a system that suits your lifestyle needs and goals.

How long does it take to install a new home battery?

The installation of a home battery is typically completed in a single day. Our certified in-house team ensures a seamless and efficient process, allowing you to start benefiting from energy storage promptly.

How much battery storage does my home need?

The amount of battery storage your home needs depends on how much energy you use and what you want to power during an outage. Some homeowners choose to back up only essential items like lights and refrigeration, while others want more complete home coverage.
