The problem

The pain point is not always wanting a battery. It is not wanting to drain savings to get one.

Many homeowners like the idea of battery storage, but do not want to spend a large amount of savings all at once. Pay As You Save helps make the next step feel more practical by spreading the remaining cost into smaller, more manageable payments, subject to eligibility and the selected system.

Solar Sharer

Solar Sharer can strengthen the battery value story.

With a battery, eligible households may be able to charge during the three-hour free electricity window and store that energy for later use. Because the battery may still charge from the grid during the free period when solar generation is low, this benefit is not limited by the weather. The stored energy can then help reduce how much expensive peak-rate electricity the home buys in the evening.
