Battery Backup May Now Cost Less for NY Utility Customers

Available incentives, Utility Battery Storage Rewards, and Participate Energy’s Prepaid Lease option may help make home battery storage more affordable — with or without solar.

A home battery may help protect your home during outages, manage Time-of-Day billing, and qualify for PSEG Long Island’s Battery Storage Rewards program.

If you already have solar, a battery may help your system store energy, provide backup protection, and work harder during peak billing periods.

If you do not have solar, we can review battery-only options first, then show whether adding solar improves your savings.

The goal is simple: find out whether battery storage makes sense for your home before you spend money or sign anything.

Already Have Solar? Add More Protection

If you already have solar, a battery can help you get more from the system you already paid for.

With battery backup, you may be able to:

Store extra solar power for later
Keep essential appliances running during outages
Use more of your own energy instead of sending it back to the grid
Reduce your dependence on the utility company
Protect your home from unexpected blackouts

Your solar system was a smart investment. A battery can make it more useful when you need it mos

Don’t Have Solar? You Can Still Get Battery Backup

You do not need solar panels to add battery backup to your home.

A standalone battery system can charge from the grid and provide stored power when the utility goes down.

That means you can protect your home now, even if you decide to add solar later.

Battery backup can help keep important items running, including:

Refrigerator and freezer
Lights
Wi-Fi and phone charging
Medical devices
Garage door opener
Select outlets
Essential home circuits

What Battery Backup Can Help You Avoid

When the power goes out, the real cost is not just inconvenience.

It can mean:

Spoiled food
No internet or phone charging
No lights
Interrupted work from home
Uncomfortable indoor temperatures
Security system interruptions
Medical device concerns
Stress for your family

Battery backup gives your home a layer of protection before the next outage happens.
