Arlington Solar Battery Installation The Light Battery Program™
Add a battery, receive a $54 monthly credit, and store your solar power for when your home needs it most.
Electricity Use Peaks After the Sun Goes Down
Many homeowners in Arlington installed solar expecting their electric bills to drop dramatically.
But many solar homeowners still see $120–$200 monthly electricity bills.
The reason is simple:
Solar panels generate most of their electricity during the middle of the day, but homes often use the most electricity in the evening.
In many Arlington homes, electricity usage increases when:
- Air conditioning continues running after sunset
- Families return home from work and school
- Appliances and electronics are used at night
The Export vs. Import Problem
Most solar systems operate the same way.
During the day:
- Solar panels generate electricity
- Extra energy is exported to the grid
- Solar production stops
- Electricity is purchased from the grid
- Selling solar power cheaply during the day
and
buying electricity back later at full price.
Even though their solar system produced enough energy overall.

How the Light Battery Program™ Changes the Math
Battery storage allows your solar system to store excess energy during the day.
Instead of exporting that power to the grid, the battery saves it.
That stored energy can then power your home during the evening when electricity demand is highest.
The Light Battery Program™ includes a fixed $54 monthly battery credit, which helps offset the cost of the battery.
Example scenario.
Typical Arlington solar homeowner:
- Remaining electric bill:
- $150/month
With the Light Battery Program™
Battery lease: $85/monthBattery credit: –$54/month
Effective battery cost: about $31/month
Instead of exporting solar energy and buying electricity later, homeowners can store their solar power and use it when their home actually needs it.
