Unlock Maximum Savings by Choosing the Right Utility Rate Plan
Battery storage is no longer just a luxury or a backup power source—it is essential for maximizing solar savings. With SRP and APS updating their rate plans, storing excess power for later use will become increasingly more beneficial than selling it back to the grid. Peak shaving—the practice of using stored energy during peak-cost electricity hours—is now the key to reducing your electric bill in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, and beyond.
In Arizona’s sunny climate, your solar system generates the most power during midday, but utility companies charge the highest rates in the late afternoon and evening when the sun is setting. With a battery storage system, you can store excess solar energy and use it when rates are highest—boosting your savings and making the most of your solar investment.
Why Battery Storage is Essential in Arizona
Peak Shaving for Lower Energy Bills
Utility companies like SRP and APS are changing how they bill solar customers, making it less profitable to sell excess energy back to the grid. Instead of sending surplus power back for minimal compensation, a battery stores your extra solar power for use during peak pricing hours—leading to up to 75% reductions in your electricity bill.
Energy Independence and Grid Stability
Arizona’s power grid is reliable, and major outages are rare. However, energy independence is about more than just backup power—it’s about controlling how and when you use the electricity you generate. A battery storage system helps ensure you aren’t subject to fluctuating utility rates and demand charges.
Future-Proof Your Solar Investment
With SRP’s coming rate plan changes and APS’s shift toward time-of-use pricing, battery storage is becoming a necessity rather than an option. Homeowners who install a battery now will be better positioned to take advantage of these changes and lock in long-term energy savings.
How Battery Storage Works
-
Solar Power Generation
Your solar panels produce energy during the day, often more than your home immediately consumes.
-
Energy Storage
Instead of sending that excess power back to the grid at a reduced rate, a battery stores it for later use.
-
Peak Hour Optimization
When utility rates increase during late afternoon and evening peak hours, your system draws from stored battery power instead of using expensive grid electricity.
-
Ongoing Savings
This cycle repeats daily, ensuring you get the most from your solar investment and reduce dependence on your utility company.
