Your panels work hard. A battery makes sure you benefit.
Right now, any energy your panels generate that you don't immediately use goes back to the grid. A battery changes that β storing your own solar so you can use it on your terms.
- Works with your existing Otovo system

Solar is producing. But not all of it is working for you.
Your panels are doing their job. Here's what happens to that energy without a battery β and what changes when you add one.
Evenings and nights
When the sun goes down, your panels stop. Your home switches to the grid. Any energy you generated but didn't use during the day? It went back β not to your bill.
Grid outages
Most people don't expect this: when the grid fails, solar systems automatically shut off. It's a safety requirement. Without a battery, your system can't keep your home running during an outage.
Peak rate hours
In many states, the grid charges more during evening peak hours β exactly when you need power most and your panels aren't producing. A battery lets you use your stored solar instead.
A battery doesn't replace your solar system β it completes it. You're already generating clean energy. A battery makes sure you're the one using it.
Three steps from quote to working battery
We handle the technical side. You just pick a time that works.
Tell us about your system
Tap βGet my battery quoteβ and share a few details. We check that your existing setup is compatible and recommend the right battery size for your home.
We install it
Our certified technicians integrate the battery directly with your existing panels and inverter. No rewiring, no major disruption.
Use your solar on your schedule
Your battery charges during peak production hours and powers your home when the panels are resting β evenings, nights, cloudy days, and outages.
What changes when you add a battery
For a home that already has solar, the difference is significant.
Power through the night
Stop drawing from the grid every evening. Your stored solar takes over when the panels rest.
Keep the lights on during outages
Your battery keeps essentials running β fridge, lights, phone β when the grid goes down.
Reduce what you buy from the grid
Using your stored solar at peak rate hours instead of buying it back costs you less per kWh.
Track everything in one place
Monitor battery charge, solar production, and home consumption through your Otovo dashboard.
One team for your whole system
No third-party battery company to coordinate with. Otovo installs it, warrants it, and supports it.
Increase your home's value
Homes with solar and battery storage consistently appraise higher than solar-only homes.

Common questions
Straightforward answers to what most customers ask before getting a quote.
In most cases, yes. We check your current setup β inverter brand, system size, and age β before recommending anything. If your system isn't compatible or would need upgrades, we'll tell you upfront. There's no charge for the compatibility check.
We're brand-agnostic. We recommend the battery that best fits your specific system and home β not the one that's most convenient for us. Your quote will include our specific recommendation and the reasoning behind it.
Most battery installations are completed in a single day. Our technicians arrive in the morning, integrate the battery with your existing system, test everything, and walk you through how it works before they leave. You'll need to be home for the installation day.
Battery pricing depends on the size of your system, your home's energy usage, and the battery model we recommend. Most residential battery installations range from $8,000 to $18,000 before incentives. Federal and state tax credits can reduce that significantly. Your quote will break down the cost, available incentives, and estimated payback timeline.
This offer is designed for existing Otovo solar customers, since we already have your system records and our technicians are familiar with your setup. If you have solar installed by another company, reach out separately and we'll let you know what's possible.
Your battery is covered under your Otovo service membership. The same team that monitors your panels handles battery support β one call, one team. No separate warranty claim process with a different manufacturer.
It depends on what's running and how large your battery is. A standard home battery can power essentials β lights, fridge, phone charging, and some appliances β for 8 to 24 hours. Your quote will include an estimate based on your actual home size and usage.
