Your Daylight battery stores electricity and helps manage energy between your home, solar system, battery, and the electrical grid.
Your battery serves two important purposes:
Backup power
Your battery can provide electricity during a utility outage.
Energy management
Daylight manages the battery as part of our distributed energy network. This can include charging, discharging, and using stored energy to support the electrical grid.
Daylight controls battery operation because the battery is part of the Daylight-owned energy system.
Why might my battery charge or discharge when there isn’t an outage?
Your battery isn’t used only during outages.
Daylight may charge or discharge the battery as part of normal system operation and energy management.
Seeing the battery’s state of charge change at different times does not necessarily indicate a problem with your system.
