For years, homeowners interested in battery storage have loved the idea of backup power and greater energy independence, but the upfront cost often kept many from moving forward.

That is beginning to change.

Recent market pricing adjustments have significantly reduced the cost of two of the industry’s leading home battery systems: the Franklin aPower and the Enphase IQ Battery 10C. These lower prices are making battery backup more accessible than ever for homeowners across Kansas and Missouri.

Why Are More Homeowners Considering Battery Storage?

Extreme weather, aging utility infrastructure, and rising electricity rates have many homeowners looking for ways to take greater control over their energy use.

A home battery system stores electricity for later use, allowing you to power your home even when the grid goes down. When paired with solar panels, batteries can store excess solar energy produced during the day and make it available when your home needs it most, such as during the evening or during a power outage.

Benefits of adding battery storage include:

• Backup power during grid outages
• Reduced reliance on your utility company
• Greater energy independence
• The ability to maximize your solar energy production
• Protection from future electricity rate increases
• Quiet, automatic operation compared to traditional generators

Franklin aPower: Whole-Home Backup Capability

The Franklin aPower has quickly become one of the most popular battery options for homeowners looking for robust backup power and smart energy management.

With scalable storage capacity and the ability to support larger household loads, the Franklin system is an excellent option for homeowners who want to keep major appliances running during an outage, including refrigerators, HVAC systems, well pumps, and more.

Its intelligent energy management software can automatically prioritize important loads and optimize how stored energy is used throughout the day.

Enphase IQ Battery 10C: Flexible and Efficient Energy Storage

The Enphase IQ Battery 10C offers homeowners a flexible and modular approach to energy storage.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with Enphase microinverter systems, the 10C allows homeowners to start with the amount of storage they need today and expand their system later as energy needs grow.

The battery’s high efficiency, smart monitoring capabilities, and seamless solar integration make it an attractive option for both new solar installations and existing solar systems.

Tesla Powerwall 3: Still the Industry Leader

While recent price reductions have made the Franklin aPower and Enphase IQ Battery 10C more accessible than ever, the Tesla Powerwall 3 continues to be the most recognized and popular home battery on the market.

The latest generation of Powerwall builds on Tesla’s reputation for sleek design, intelligent energy management, and reliable backup power. With increased power output and an integrated solar inverter, the Powerwall 3 can support larger household loads and simplify system design for many homeowners.

For homeowners seeking whole-home backup capabilities, the Powerwall 3 remains one of the top choices available today. Its seamless app experience allows homeowners to monitor energy production, battery usage, and grid activity in real time while automatically preparing for severe weather and outages when Storm Watch mode is enabled.
