Achieving Energy Independence with a Solar + Battery System
In 2022, one of our customers named Josh made the decision to further enhance their energy efficiency by upgrading their existing 6.6kW solar system. They opted for an additional 6.6kW system and a 13.3kWh Alpha battery storage system, investing a total of $10,000. Their goal was to reduce electricity costs and eventually achieve energy independence.

They opted for an additional 6.6kW system and a 13.3kWh Alpha battery storage system, investing a total of $10,000. Their goal was to reduce electricity costs and eventually achieve energy independence.
Customer Background
The household consists of two adults and one child, with an occasional presence of four adults. The father works in the IT industry and frequently works from home, making consistent energy consumption a crucial factor in their decision to invest in solar and battery.
Energy Usage and Results
The family’s energy usage is typical of a modern household. Based on standard usage patterns for a family with a child, a typical quarterly electricity bill would be in the range of $600 to $800, meaning their yearly electricity costs would be approximately $2,400 to $3,200.
However, after installing their new solar and battery system, the results exceeded expectations. Over the two-year period, not only did the family have no electricity bills, but they also accumulated extra solar credit that they used to pay their gas bills. This credit generation is a clear indicator that their solar system is producing more electricity than the household consumes.
Expected Payback Period
Given their $10,000 investment and considering their typical yearly energy consumption, their solar system's payback period was conservatively estimated at 4 years. This was based on a worst-case scenario where electricity consumption remained steady and energy production varied with weather conditions.
This case demonstrates how a well-designed solar and battery system can significantly reduce energy costs and pay for itself in a relatively short amount of time. With the extra credit they've generated, the family not only reduced their carbon footprint but also covered additional energy expenses like gas, further enhancing their energy savings.
By investing in a solar + battery storage system, this household is on track to achieve energy independence while benefiting from long-term savings. Their experience serves as a testament to how effective renewable energy solutions can be for both financial and environmental impact.
