The market for home batteries is picking up.
In the second quarter of this year, residential storage capacity installations outpaced utility-scale installations. There were more residential batteries installed in Q2 than in all of 2017.

In this episode, Shayle Kann talks with GTM staff writer Julian Spector about the latest trends in residential storage.
