        Benefits of Energy Storage

        What Is It and Why Do I Need It?

        Battery storage technology is key for power quality and its reliable delivery. At the core of an Energy Storage System (ESS) is a bank of high-capacity batteries that collect and store energy generated by the utility, generator, solar or wind. The stored energy can be utilized to provide critical backup power in case of an outage, supplement an existing electrical system to reduce energy costs, or as a primary power source for a home or business.

        Comfort and Protection During a Power Outage

        No need to worry about financial losses like spoiled food, water damage, or mold that might occur in your house by not having air conditioning following a damaging storm. With a whole home battery system you'll enjoy instantaneous backup power during a grid outage so you can live life uninterrupted.

        Lower Energy Costs

        Charge your batteries during the time of day when utility rates are the lowest and use your battery power during high rate times. With home battery storage, you have control of your electricity costs.

        Make the Most of Your Solar System

        Adding Briggs & Stratton batteries to an existing solar system is easy, and offers multiple benefits including backup power during grid outages and maximum energy cost savings when used for time-of-use peak-shaving.

        Start Small or Go Big

        Briggs & Stratton battery storage systems are incredibly versatile, easy to configure, and scalable to meet any project, budget, or need.


        A Look at Energy Storage Systems
