California residents are increasingly pairing battery storage with solar installations

Solar paired with battery installations makes up about 9% of all installed residential net metering capacity in California

California residents are increasingly pairing battery storage with solar installations, according to the latest preliminary data in our Monthly Electric Power Industry Report.

The share of new residential solar photovoltaic systems paired with batteries has increased since we began collecting data in October 2023. In April 2024, more than 50% of residential solar photovoltaic installations were paired with battery storage, compared with just over 20% in October 2023.

The shift toward more battery storage at solar installations eligible for net metering came after changes to California’s compensation structure. Net metering compensates customers for the distributed generation output that is returned to the grid by crediting their electricity bills.
