We review the most popular lithium-ion battery technologies including the Tesla Powerwall 2, LG RESU, PylonTech, Simpliphi, Sonnen, Powerplus Energy, plus the lithium titanate batteries from Zenaji and Kilowatt Labs.
Generally, batteries with longer lifespan and warranty are more expensive upfront, but may be cost-effective in the long run. While the initial outlay for solar PV battery storage may seem high, there are numerous ways to offset these costs and enhance the affordability of your solar energy system.
First off, they’re expensive, but the cost per kilowatt-hour (kWh) is well below the industry average at just $851. In fact, they’re some of the most affordable backup batteries when taking capacity into account. Tesla’s solar batteries have outstanding performance specifications.
Overall, our top recommendations are the Tesla Powerwall (including the Powerwall+, the Powerwall 2 and the Powerwall 3, which is coming out in 2024) and the Panasonic EverVolt. The table below includes a comparison of these batteries and the other options we’ve reviewed above. What Do the Solar Battery Specs Even Mean?
Solar batteries are expensive — usually adding between $10,000 and $20,000 to an already high solar installation cost of $29,970, on average, in the U.S. — and can often double your solar installation costs if you want full backup capabilities for your home. As such, many solar customers wonder if solar batteries are worth it.
LG has been developing solar batteries for years, and since it exited the solar panel manufacturing industry, it’s now an even more trusted name for batteries. LG batteries come in a wide range of sizes, meaning it’s easy to customize your solar storage solution based on your energy needs and expectations in blackout conditions.
