Solar energy is produced when photons from the sun knock electrons loose in solar panels. Electrons flow in a direct current (DC) to an inverter, which converts the DC power into alternating current (AC) power, which is the usable power household appliances need to operate. Because of this conversion, solar energy can power a home. Without a battery, any excess production is sent to the utility grid, typically when homeowners are not using much electricity.

An energy storage system, more commonly known as a battery, allows for excess solar energy to be stored for later use in lieu of using power from the utility grid. In the event of a power outage, an energy system can quickly switch to battery power , allowing you to continue to enjoy the benefits of your solar system, even when the utility power is out.

With lithium-ion phosphate batteries, which is what most energy storage systems are today, lithium ions are moved through an electrolyte inside the battery. The buildup of free electrons is how electricity is stored, and when the battery is used, the flow of ions is reversed, sending that energy to the home.
