Solar for the holidays or any season is a great gift idea! Solar PV installations don’t require batteries when the system is connected to the grid, which is why most solar installations don’t require batteries.

Solar panels produce electricity when there is ample sunlight. They generate power that feeds into the electric panel to offset electricity usage. Less power and in some instances, no power is drawn from the grid when the panels are activated by the sunlight. When the solar PV system produces more electricity than is used, the excess feeds back to the grid. 

Of course, batteries are great to have. They can be included upfront or added later. If added later, the savings on your electric bills will help pay for them. What’s even better is that batteries are eligible for the 30% solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) when they are included with solar panel installations or when they are purchased separately.

So here’s the perfect holiday gift idea that doesn’t require batteries!
