Do Solar Home Batteries Make Sense in Virginia?

Virtue Solar explores whether or not energy storage + solar is a viable option in the Virginia market.

Charlottesville-based Virtue Solar, a top installer in Virginia, is proud to present a new educational blog post exploring the benefits and practicality of home solar batteries for Virginia homeowners. The article, titled "Do Home Solar Batteries Make Sense in Virginia?," delves into the advantages of integrating a battery system with your solar panels.


One of the key highlights is the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, which now allows home batteries to qualify for a 30% federal solar tax credit. This significant cost-saving incentive makes it the perfect time to consider investing in energy storage.

The blog also emphasizes the energy security offered by solar batteries. Unlike traditional generators, modern batteries provide seamless and quiet backup power, ensuring your home stays functional during outages without the drawbacks of noise and fuel fumes. This is especially practical for Virginians residing in storm-prone areas.

Additionally, the article reviews popular battery options such as the Tesla Powerwall 3 and Enphase 5P, applauding their efficiency and reliability. With advances in technology, today's batteries are more compact, lasting, and integral to home energy systems.

The post also touches on potential changes to Virginia's net-metering policies, underscoring the value of having a personal energy storage solution.
