This guide is designed specifically for homeowners with single-family or two-family homes interested in installing energy storage systems.

Are battery energy storage systems visible from a property line?

Battery energy storage systems may or may not be visible from a facility's property line. Grid batteries can be housed in a variety of enclosures or buildings, none of which are taller than a house. Energy storage facilities are often unmanned and do not need light to function.

How do battery energy storage systems work?

Battery energy storage systems operate by converting electricity from the grid or a power generation source (such as from solar or wind) into stored chemical energy. When the chemical energy is discharged, it is converted back into electrical energy. This is the same process used with phones, laptops, and other electronic devices.

What is an energy storage system?
