Tech giant LG entered the home energy storage business in 2018, leveraging its six decades of experience in electronics to develop some of the best batteries of recent years.1 This LG solar battery review will cover one of the most popular series available on the market today — the LG Residential Energy Storage Unit (RESU).
In September 2022, LG Electronics launched the Home 8 residential energy storage system, an AC-coupled battery with a built-in inverter. LG's home batteries provide all the standard advantages of solar batteries, including backup protection against grid outages, time-of-use load-shifting, and greater energy independence.
The pricing of LG's batteries is comparable to the Tesla Powerwall, its greatest competitor and one of the most popular home solar batteries in the U.S. The Powerwall offers a higher storage capacity of 13.5 kWh and costs around $11,500 including installation. Modern solar batteries, including LG's li-ion batteries, are expected to last a decade.
LG's solar batteries both come with a warranty that guarantees the battery will store 70% of its capacity after 10 years or after the throughput limit is reached, whichever comes first. The throughput limit describes how much energy is discharged from the battery.
Whether you''re looking to store solar energy, reduce electricity bills through time-of-use optimization, or ensure backup power during outages, LG''s home battery lineup offers compelling
As we explore the next section, we will look deeper into the installation process, potential savings in energy costs, and how LG Solar Batteries integrate with home energy systems effectively.
