Your Daylight battery is designed to provide backup power when the utility grid goes down.
When an outage occurs, your system can use stored battery energy to support your home or the circuits configured for backup.
The amount of time your battery can provide backup depends on factors including:
How much energy was stored when the outage began
How much electricity your home is using
Which equipment is being powered
Available solar production
Weather and time of day
Length of the outage
Battery backup isn’t an unlimited source of electricity.
During an extended outage, reducing unnecessary electricity consumption can help stored energy last longer.
Does Daylight’s use of my battery mean I won’t have backup power?
Your battery serves both energy-management and backup functions.
Its state of charge can vary during normal operation. The amount of backup available when an outage begins depends on the stored energy available at that time and the amount of electricity your home uses during the outage.
