Battery storage

Backup the circuits your home relies on

How battery storage works

During the day, your solar panels often generate more electricity than your home or business needs. A solar battery storage system captures this excess energy, allowing you to use stored solar power at night, during peak electricity hours, or when the grid goes down.

Solar batteries can be installed alongside new solar panels or added to an existing solar energy system. At BT Energy, we work with trusted manufacturers, to help you find the right battery storage solution for your energy needs.

What can a solar battery power, and for how long? The answer depends on battery capacity, your household or business energy consumption, and which appliances or circuits need backup power. Our team will help you understand your options and choose a system that fits your needs and priorities.

“Very impressed with BT energy. Long time solar expertise in the Albuquerque market and a clear commitment to top-notch customer service. In particular, I find it important that the owner Neil is so integrally involved in everything. His high integrity and caring approach make this a company you can trust.”
Michael Feferman7 months ago · Google
“I recently had a great experience with BT Energy and wanted to share how impressed I was with their team. From the beginning, Neil stood out with his knowledgeable and professional approach. He didn’t just try to sell me solar — he really took the time to educate me on how the system works, what the benefits are, and what to realistically expect. It made the whole process feel transparent and comfortable. That guy really loves what he does. One of the things that gave me the most confidence in BT Energy was learning that their installer is also a certified roofer. The thought of having intrusive work done on my newer roof was a big hangup for me, so this helped me get over that. Overall, the experience felt honest, professional, and well-informed from start to finish. If you’re considering residential solar, I’d definitely recommend giving BT Energy a call.”
