Home Battery ROI

Is a home battery worth it for you?

See your real payback period in years, based on current 2026 incentives in your state. We use the actual math — not the expired 30% federal credit that other calculators still show.

We use this to find your utility and applicable incentives.

Do you have solar?

This helps us pick a sensible rate plan for the math.

How often does your power go out?
Would you let your utility use your battery during peak demand for a payment?

Some utilities pay you a yearly amount (often $1,500–$3,500/year) for letting them dispatch your battery ~30–60 times each summer. It's automated and you barely notice. This is the single biggest factor in some states.

Advanced: what would an outage cost you?

Default $50. Bump up if you work from home, have medical equipment, or food worth more than usual.
