Add a Battery to Your Existing Solar

For homes with existing solar, we design systems based on real electricity usage, utility rates, and long-term household plans. Every project begins with analysis — not a preset package.

Solar and Battery Designed Together

A Complete Solar + Battery System

For homes without solar, we design a complete system so solar production, battery storage, and utility billing all work together. Solar and battery storage are planned together to maximize bill savings, resilience during outages, and eligibility for available incentives.

I can't speak highly enough about Store Energy California. My energy costs have become unreasonable so I reached out to them in November 2024 to understand the program and the service they provide to consumers for solar and battery storage systems. The process from start to finish was lengthy, therefore patience is necessary, but was well worth it! Matt Kelly is the face of Store Energy and is not only very personable and kind, he is an incredibly knowledgeable subject matter expert. I knew from the moment I spoke with him that we would be in good, capable hands. From the onset, Matt and the team at Store Energy communicated with me by phone, text and email, walking me through the various stages of the project, including sharing of utility data to size the system, completing documentation and applications, and coordinating all the second- and third-party activities, including Permit and City inspection. From planning and changes to executions and inspections, Store Energy was on top of everything, letting me know when we need to be involved, and kept us apprised of progress to the project. Our new system has been up and running for less than a month and we've not yet received our first month electric bill but I can see already from the app that our dependency on the grid is less... which will reduce our expenses... mission accomplished! Like I said, I can't speak highly enough of Store Energy and encourage others to reach out to them as well!

I certainly would recommend Store Energy California. I was able to qualify for 3 Tesla home batteries and 8 more solar panels. This has provided instant power for electric outages. It also gave me the option to be energy independent. The entire process took about a year, and in some ways it was a leap of faith for myself and Store Energy, but I can tell you that things did work out as promised. I highly recommend them.

Michael was very knowledgeable and more so helpful and educational. He went above and beyond even though I didn’t buy a system. Definitely someone to work with.

OUR STORE-ENERGY REVIEW StoreEnergy is an amazing company with great people who really know the business of solar systems, electrical usage and state rules and regulations! If you have some hesitation when it comes to solar companies then StoreEnergy is your company. In fact StoreEnergy, is one of the top companies in their field. This company is 100% professional and the best company at Solar! My StoreEnergy sales representative was so knowledgeable and pleasant. He was able to answer every question explaining how their program worked and what the parameters were to qualify. In fact my StoreEnergy sales Rep. walked me through calling to get my electrical usage info and told me to ask about their company. After getting what I needed I did ask the Southern California Edison customer service person and they said that StoreEnergy was one of their approved contractors. That info gave me a great deal of confidence. If you are beginning this journey you must have patience and appreciate the hard work that your team is doing on your behalf because it will all pay off. Once we began the process we found each and every member of the team had so much expertise to walk me and my husband through the process. To complete every needed document as we went through the phases necessary to get to completion. Please understanding that this is a lengthy process due to the rules and regulations of all parties including the final step for us was HOA approval. Our team always took time for each department to check-in with us to convey these stages. Understanding the process and how much work goes into completion from Eddie in Sales to Operations Manager Ma’ayan and Itxcka Project Coordinator, in charge of all documents and contractors bookings. All overseen by the head of their departments Matt did an excellent job! Even when the contractors were at the house making some last minute decisions I called the head of operations and to my delight he was available to take my call. He offered his opinion and expertise helping my husband and I make the best decisions for alternatives and no question was left unanswered. Again thank you Ma’ayan for helping us to understand our new solar system. We have a disabled child and they had such compassion was another layer to what good people they all are. In the end patience was indeed rewarded with project completion! We love our new Solar System! I cannot thank them enough for all the efforts to help our family, Their time, energy and patience for our questions and putting our concerns to rest will never be forgotten!

california homeowners exploring solar incentives and energy savings

Not Sure if Solar or a Battery Makes Sense?

A structured review helps clarify available programs, projected savings, and whether an upgrade makes sense at all.

FAQs

No. We work with homeowners who already have solar and want to add battery storage, as well as homeowners who are looking for a complete solar and battery back up solution. Retrofitting battery back up to homes without existing solar without any plans of adding solar with the battery is possible but, you’ll need to speak with one of our energy consultants to learn if it’s right for you.

In most cases, yes. We specialize in integrating battery storage with existing solar systems, even when they were installed by another provider or use older equipment.

Yes. When designed correctly, battery storage can provide backup power during grid outages, helping keep essential appliances and systems running when the grid goes down.

California offers several solar and battery incentives, but eligibility and rules can vary. We design systems with these programs in mind to help homeowners capture available savings and avoid costly mistakes.

No. Store Energy is a private company. We help homeowners navigate publicly available federal, state, and utility programs and ensure projects are structured correctly when incentives apply.
Timelines vary based on system size, permitting, and utility coordination, but typically, residential installations are completed within 1 – 2 weeks once permits are approved.

Yes. We manage the full process, including system design, permits, installation, and coordination with your utility, so you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

Our installations are backed by strong equipment warranties and a long-term workmanship warranty, providing peace of mind long after installation is complete.

The best way to find out is through a free consultation. We’ll review your home, energy usage, and goals to determine the right solution, if one makes sense.
