BESS is a fast way to move away from excessive generator runtime, controlling fuel consumption while also giving you a way to deal with load challenges and peaks. Our 250 kW capacity batteries are delivered in self-contained packages with everything included, alongside our extensive expertise, so that you can achieve those benefits even sooner.
Our plug-and-play 250 kW battery solutions can be operated in island mode, in parallel with another BESS for additional capacity, or in a hybrid solution with a generator.
We deliver reliable and scalable energy storage systems tailored to projects of any size. Our solutions maximize efficiency, cut emissions, and lower costs. Whether you need temporary backup or a long-term energy strategy, we provide flexible, modular systems that adapt to your specific needs without the need for large capital investments. Trust us to keep your energy operations running smoothly with our advanced technology.
We developed our Greener Upgrades initiative to support our customers in making choices that are kinder to the environment. These small shifts make a big difference in lowering regulated emissions like NOx, particulate matter (PM), and CO. Also, CO2 emissions can be reduced by minimizing fuel consumption and utilizing environmentally friendly biofuels.
As subject matter experts, we provide only objective information. We design every article to provide you with deeply-researched, factual, useful information so that you can make informed home electrification and financial decisions. We have:
Incorporated third-party data and information from primary sources, government agencies, educational institutions, peer-reviewed research, or well-researched nonprofit organizations.
We won''t charge you anything to get quotes through our marketplace. Instead, installers and other service providers pay us a small fee to participate after we vet them for reliability and suitability.

The home storage revolution is here, and there are plenty of options when it comes to home batteries that you can install. In this article, we''ll talk about battery capacity - what it is, why it matters (or doesn''t), and how battery models stack up against one another.
When manufacturers or installers talk about battery capacity (or energy capacity), they usually talk about one of two metrics a battery is rated on: total capacity and usable capacity. We''ll get into why those are different further down. For the time being, it''s all just "capacity."
At its core, battery capacity means the amount of energy stored in a home battery, measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Here''s a complete definition of energy capacity from our glossary of key energy storage terms to know:
To give a sense of the energy usage of different appliances, keeping ten CFL light bulbs on for six hours uses nearly 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity (10 CFLs * 15 Watts per bulb * six hours). A television or refrigerator may use 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity over 24 hours, depending on how often the TV is turned off and on and to what temperature the refrigerator is set. On the other hand, running a central air conditioner could use 10 kilowatt-hours per day.
Batteries are rated for two different capacity metrics: total and usable. Because usable capacity is most relevant to the amount of energy you''ll get from a battery, we like to use usable capacity as the main "capacity" metric to compare storage products.
How much electricity is stored in the battery in total when fully charged. Expressed in kilowatt-hours, this is an energy metric that demonstrates the amount of electricity that would be available if you could fully discharge your battery all the way to zero.
The amount of electricity stored in the battery that is available for consumption. Batteries have their own native load requirements. In other words, batteries require a certain amount of electricity to continue running. As a result, not all the electricity stored in a battery is available for you to consume. If you try to use beyond the usable energy of a battery, it may have detrimental impacts on the health and longevity of your battery.
Like any other battery, the more energy it can store, the more stuff you can usually power with. Of course, there are other factors (like power rating and chemistry), but as a general rule of thumb, more capacity means more devices powered for longer periods.
For home batteries, this means that if the grid goes down, you''ll have power for longer with a bigger battery. It also means that if you''re using your home battery to avoid buying electricity during peak, expensive hours (such as in a region on TOU rates), you can spend more time pulling from your battery and potentially avoid the high-cost block entirely. Especially if you''re charging your battery during the day with solar panels, beefing up capacity is a great way to ensure you''re getting maximum savings on electricity from a storage system.
Battery capacity is very important, but perhaps more importantly, a single battery''s capacity isn''t necessarily the capacity you''ll install. For example, you can install multiple Tesla Powerwall batteries together to create a much larger system than an individual battery. If physical space is an issue for you, that''s when battery capacities in a single product will be more important. For homes with large electric bills, you''ll almost always have to install a stacked battery system to store enough energy.
Individual battery capacity only matters to a certain extent, but it can certainly be an important factor. Below, we''ve included a table of the largest battery from each of the most common home battery brands, ranked from highest capacity to lowest:
As we noted above, the capacity of an individual battery doesn''t always mean much for battery-to-battery comparisons. For example, while the Tesla Powerwall is one of the smallest batteries on this list, it is far and away one of the most popular products on the market. Finding a home battery with the functionality and performance you want is important because most products can be combined to create larger-capacity battery banks.
No matter what battery you have your eye on, the best way to know you''re getting the best deal for a high-quality installation is to compare multiple quotes.
