The equipment cost
Home battery systems range from $5,000 to $25,000+ for equipment, depending on capacity. Our plans range from $10,202 (Essential, 9 kWh) to $22,799 (Ultimate, 36 kWh). The most common configuration, Reserve at 27 kWh, is $16,760.
These are equipment costs before shipping, tax, and installation. We separate these because every home is different, and bundled pricing hides the actual cost breakdown. You deserve to know exactly what you're paying for.
The installation cost
Installation typically runs $3,000–$6,000 depending on your home's electrical panel, distance from the main panel to the battery location, permit requirements, and whether any panel upgrades are needed.
Factors that increase install cost: older electrical panels that need upgrades, long wire runs, complex panel configurations, and homes with sub-panels. Factors that decrease it: newer homes with modern panels, garage installation close to the main panel, and straightforward single-panel setups.
We provide a specific installation quote after a site assessment. The site assessment is free. We don't charge to tell you what the job costs.
The 10-year total cost of ownership
This is where batteries pull ahead of generators. A home battery has zero annual maintenance costs. No oil changes, no spark plugs, no fuel, no annual service contracts. The 10-year cost is the purchase price + installation. That's it.
Compare that to a standby generator: $8,500–$13,000 installed + $150–$300/year maintenance + fuel costs during outages. Over 10 years, a $10,000 generator becomes $12,500–$16,000+.
The crossover point depends on which battery and generator you're comparing. But for most homeowners, a 27 kWh battery is cost-competitive with a comparable generator over 10 years, delivering silent operation, zero maintenance, and instant transfer.
What about financing?
We offer financing options for homeowners who prefer to spread the cost. Monthly payments depend on the plan, term length, and credit qualification. The goal is to make the upfront equipment cost manageable without hiding the true price.
How to compare quotes honestly
When comparing quotes from different installers or for different brands, make sure you're comparing: usable capacity (not nominal), continuous output AND peak surge, warranty length and what's covered, installation cost (some bundle it, some don't), and 10-year total cost including maintenance.
Red flags in quotes: bundled pricing with no breakdown, 'starting from' prices without specifying what's included, continuous output without peak surge specs, and warranties with exclusions for battery degradation below 60%.
The honest comparison is the one that shows all the numbers. If an installer won't break down their pricing, that tells you something.
