DOES A POWERWALL NEED TO BE INSTALLED WITH SOLAR?

Not technically, but it’s hard to see the benefit of having battery storage that’s not connected to a solar system in Washington State. Unlike areas that have a high variation in on-peak and off-peak rates, think California, time-of-use load shifting isn’t financially rewarding in the Evergreen State. There is no need to store your unused solar energy since net metering allows you to store your excess production on the grid as a credit to use later. This is essentially a free energy storage vault.

Battery backup systems that are connected to a solar system from 2022-2032 are eligible for the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit. Don’t wait, prices for solar equipment are on the rise!
