Why NJ Homeowners Are Installing Batteries Now
Six Reasons a Battery Makes Sense in New Jersey
Between PSE&G's new time-of-use rates, frequent outages, and strong NJ incentives, 2025–2026 is the right time to add battery storage.
Whole-Home Backup Power
Keep your home running during outages without a loud generator. Batteries switch on silently within milliseconds — no interruption.
Solar + Storage Pairing
Already have or planning solar? A battery lets you use your own solar energy at night, during outages, and during peak rate hours.
Reduce Your PSE&G Bill
With PSE&G's time-of-use rates launching June 2026, batteries that charge at night and discharge at peak hours can meaningfully cut your bill.
Energy Independence
Reduce dependence on the grid and fossil fuels. Clean, silent backup that doesn't require weekly exercise cycles or fuel deliveries.
Home Value
Battery storage systems increase home resale value and appeal to buyers who work from home or want energy resilience.
Critical Load Protection
Protect sump pumps, medical equipment, refrigerators, and home offices from the next nor'easter or summer thunderstorm.

Money You May Be Leaving on the Table
NJ Battery Storage Incentives & Rebates
New Jersey has some of the strongest residential battery incentives in the country. We identify and apply for every rebate you qualify for.
New Jersey's Grid Scale Energy Storage Program provides direct incentives per kWh of installed storage capacity for qualifying residential systems.
PSE&G customers may qualify for additional utility rebates for battery storage installations. Program availability varies by enrollment period.
When a battery system is charged 100% by solar (co-located or added to existing solar), the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit applies to the full battery cost.
Incentive programs change. We verify current availability and help you apply during the installation process.
How It Works
Our Battery Installation Process
From load analysis to live monitoring, we handle every step of the process.
Free Site Assessment & Load Analysis
We review your utility bills, measure your electrical loads, assess your panel, and recommend the right battery size — whether you need essential backup or whole-home coverage.
Incentive & Rebate Review
We identify every available rebate and tax credit: NJ GSESP, PSE&G battery rebate, federal ITC (if solar-paired), and any municipal programs. You get a clear pre- and post-incentive cost picture.
Permit Application & Utility Paperwork
We file the electrical permit with your municipality and, for grid-interactive systems, handle the utility interconnection application with PSE&G or your serving utility.
Installation Day
Our licensed electricians install the battery unit, gateway/smart panel, backup load center (if needed), and all electrical connections in a clean, code-compliant installation.
Commissioning & Walk-Through
We commission the system, connect it to the manufacturer's monitoring app, and walk you through operating modes: backup-only, TOU optimization, solar self-consumption, and manual storm prep.

What NJ Homeowners Say About Their Battery Systems
“We have a Tesla Powerwall that Malfettone installed last fall. During the ice storm in January, we didn't even notice the grid went down until we checked the app. The house kept running — lights, heat, refrigerator. Worth every penny.”
“I work from home and couldn't afford outage downtime. Malfettone recommended the Franklin WH for its continuous power output, helped me apply for the NJ rebate, and handled everything. The installation was clean and the system has been flawless.”
“Already had solar and wanted to stop selling back to PSE&G at pennies. Now I store what I generate and use it during peak hours. My bill dropped significantly. Malfettone installed an Enphase battery to complement my existing microinverter system — no issues at all.”
Common Questions
Home Battery Storage FAQs
What home battery storage systems do you install in NJ?
We install all major residential battery systems including Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Battery 5P, Franklin WH (FranklinWH), SolarEdge Home Battery, and Generac PWRcell. Each system has different capacity, power output, and integration options — we recommend the best fit for your home's load profile and goals during the free assessment.
Are there NJ rebates for home battery storage?
Yes. New Jersey's Grid Scale Energy Storage Program (GSESP) provides incentives for residential battery storage, and PSE&G offers its own battery storage rebate program. Incentives can total $1,250–$1,625 or more depending on battery size and program enrollment. We help you identify and apply for every applicable rebate as part of the installation process.
Do I need solar panels to install a home battery?
No. Batteries can be installed as standalone backup systems that charge from the grid. This is a popular option in New Jersey where outages are frequent but full solar isn't practical. Grid-tied battery systems charge overnight at off-peak rates and discharge during PSE&G's time-of-use peak hours to reduce your electricity bill.
How long will a home battery power my house during an outage?
It depends on the battery's capacity (kWh) and what loads you run. A 13.5 kWh Powerwall running essential circuits — lighting, refrigerator, phone charging, and a few outlets — can last 12–24 hours. Running central AC or an electric range shortens that significantly. We help you model expected runtime during the free site assessment based on your actual usage.
How much does home battery storage installation cost in NJ?
A single Tesla Powerwall 3 system fully installed typically costs $12,000–$16,000 before rebates and incentives. After NJ GSESP and federal tax credit (30% ITC if paired with solar), net cost can drop substantially. Multi-battery systems for whole-home backup run $20,000–$35,000+. We provide detailed quotes with pre- and post-incentive pricing.
Do I need a permit for battery storage installation in NJ?
Yes. Battery storage installations in New Jersey require an electrical permit and a municipal inspection. Larger systems may also require utility interconnection approval from PSE&G, JCPL, or your serving utility. We handle all permits, utility paperwork, and inspection scheduling on your behalf.
Often Paired Together
Frequently Combined With Battery Storage
Solar Installation
Solar + battery is the complete home energy package. Generate your own power and store it. Qualifies for 30% federal ITC on both systems.
Panel Upgrade
Most battery installations work better with a modern 200A panel. We frequently combine panel upgrades with battery installs in the same permit package.
Whole-Home Generator
For maximum resilience: battery handles short outages silently, generator handles extended events. The ultimate NJ backup power setup.
