How Many Batteries Do I Need?
Learn how many batteries you should include with your system
Battery Count Recommendation
Better Earth offers two types of batteries: Back up and Non-Back up batteries.
The number of batteries that are best suited for your system depends on your electric usage. Better Earth can install up to 3 or 4 batteries with one system as long as you are able to meet our minimum system size requirement of 6 panels.
How do I know how many batteries to get?
Depending on the battery manufacture you plan to use will determine how many batteries are needed for your installation.
We recommend reviewing the specific battery type article to see how many we recommend per battery type:
General Sizing Guide
- 1 Battery for annual kWh usage of: Less than 10,000 kWh/year
- 2 Batteries for annual kWh usage of: 10,000-20,000 kWh/year
- 3 Batteries for annual kWh usage of: 20,000-30,000 kWh/year
- 4 Batteries for annual kWh usage of: 30,000+ kWh/year
If you plan to add more than 1 battery, we recommend using our Back Up Battery options.
