Cynics will say there is never the right time to buy. The moment you have any piece of high-tech installed, it’s already outdated.
Late last year saw a substantial drop in battery prices which probably won’t be repeated – however, prices will go down further, and new technologies will evolve. At this point in time all technologies have matured to a level of high reliability and stability. If you hate power companies, if you think you pay too much for your power, if you use a lot of power at times when it is expensive – now is the time to get into battery storage.

Please note that, as of this week, AQUION Energy has filed for Chapter 11 protection (a milder form of insolvency).
When going for battery storage in combination with solar, a lot of questions arise:
- AC or DC coupled?
- Does the price of the battery include the battery inverter or charge controller?
- How will the battery interact with the solar power system I already have?
- Will I still have power in a mains power outage?
- Is my system future-proof enough to offer the option for going off-grid if I chose to?
