Are Solar Batteries Worth It for Oregon Homes?

Raptor Solar gets this question a lot, especially from homeowners looking for more energy independence in Oregon’s unpredictable weather. So—are solar batteries worth it? For many, the answer is a confident yes. Here’s what you should know.

Backup Power You Can Count On
When the grid goes down, your solar system shuts off—unless you have a battery. With a Franklin battery, you can store extra power and run essential appliances even during an outage. This can be especially useful during winter storms or wildfire-related shutoffs.

Maximize Your Solar Investment
Batteries let you use more of the solar energy your panels produce instead of sending it back to the grid. That means more savings and more control. For homeowners with variable-rate billing, batteries also help avoid peak-time charges.

Do You Need a Battery?
Not everyone needs one—but if you want backup power, more self-sufficiency, or to future-proof your energy setup, it’s a smart upgrade. We’ll walk you through whether a battery fits your home and goals.

The Takeaway – Batteries Add Control and Peace of Mind
Adding a solar battery to your system gives you flexibility, backup power, and long-term value—especially in a state like Oregon where outages are increasing and costs keep rising.
