# ESTG

# How to choose the right home battery

By storing energy when the sun is shining, and using it later, you maintain the value of [the solar installation](/assortment/solar/) even in winter. A home battery helps avoid peaks, increases self-consumption, and reduces reliance on the grid. By recommending [the right home battery,](/assortment/storage/batteries) you help your customers use their self-generated energy more efficiently.

## Choosing the right battery

Every customer’s situation is different: consumption patterns vary, system types differ (existing installation, with or without current storage), available space, brand or technology preferences, and future expansion (e.g., [e-mobility](/assortment/ev/)). Key factors include capacity (kWh), power (kW), compatibility with [inverter](/assortment/inverters/), warranty, software/monitoring, winter temperature conditions, etc.
