Installs

Medians require at least 20 priced installs for the named measure and period.

  • Connecticut records 340 installs: 335 in 2024–2026 and 5 with no approval year. Source: Connecticut Energy Storage Solutions — enrollment. Median battery cost per kWh: $1,165, from 340 priced installs (335 in 2024–2026 and 5 with no approval year).

A count of installs says how many were installed, not how well they work. A median price is the middle reported price.

What Connecticut homes paid

All years includes 5 installs with no recorded approval year.

Figures are medians. Parentheses give the middle half of prices. A dash means too few prices for a median.

Backup hours from your load

Appliance nameplate maximums

The stated usable energy divided by your load gives hours, starting with a full battery.

The spec sheet states its usable energy at 25°C.

Spec sheet, at p.1 / PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS, retrieved Sep 23, 2026, dated Dec 16, 2025 Not yet checked

Continuous power: 10 kW (AC)

Peak power: 15 kW (AC)

Backup hours follow the California Air Resources Board’s Zero Emissions Residential Backup Power Tool. Appliance figures come from the US Department of Energy’s Estimating Appliance and Home Electronic Energy Use (2012).

  • The appliance figures are nameplate maximums. Average demand changes as appliances cycle and their settings change.
  • A load above the stated continuous power gets no figure.
  • Motor starts use three times the largest selected motor’s watts, plus the other loads. This estimate is checked against stated peak power when available. Other loads are counted at their running watts.
  • Inverter and battery losses are not counted. A field study of household backup power explains the gap.
  • Solar recharge, reserves, and temperature changes are outside the calculation.
