Application

Homes & Buildings

Resilience, comfort, and control at the meter.

Home and building batteries store solar energy, ride through outages, and give families and businesses more control over their power bills.

What these batteries need to do

  • Residential units that store rooftop solar, support backup power, and enable smart time-of-use shifting.
  • Small commercial and industrial systems that protect refrigeration, data, and critical operations.
  • User-friendly interfaces that help occupants understand state of charge, backup duration, and energy flows.
  • Safe, code-compliant installations coordinated with local utilities and fire authorities.

Chemistries and designs that work here

Many residential and building systems rely on LFP and other iron-phosphate chemistries that balance safety, life, and cost. Some larger installations may blend different chemistries in a portfolio approach.

Strategic value for the United States

When storms or grid disturbances occur, locally manufactured storage can be the difference between rapid recovery and extended outages. Domestic production supports faster deployment and service.

The American Battery connects this application to specific chemistries, materials, and supply chain needs, so that technology decisions and policy choices can be grounded in a clear view of the entire value chain.
