solar storage vs stand alone

Can I install standalone battery storage without solar panels?

Federal tax credit with a battery-only system. The IRA includes a tax credits for installing a standalone, battery-only energy storage system with 3 kWh or more capacity. To calculate the value of the tax credit, multiply the total cost (including installation) by 30%. Cost of the battery system x 30% = value of the tax credit.
