Battery Backup Education
Learn how home battery systems provide energy independence, outage protection, and maximize your solar investment.
Outage Protection
How Backup Power Works
When the grid goes down, standard solar systems are required by law to shut off to prevent backfeeding power into the grid and injuring utility workers. A home battery system automatically detects an outage, disconnects your home from the grid, and powers your essential appliances using stored energy.
Instant Switch
Transition to backup power in fractions of a second.
Essential Loads
Keep refrigerators, lights, and wifi running during blackouts.
Continuous Charge
Solar panels recharge the battery daily during extended outages.
Pairing with Solar
Time-of-Use Optimization
Many utility companies charge higher rates during peak evening hours. A battery stores excess solar energy generated during the day and deploys it at night, allowing you to avoid expensive peak utility rates and maximize your savings.
Retrofitting Existing Systems
Already have solar? Modern AC-coupled batteries can be added to almost any existing solar array. Our consultants can evaluate your current system and recommend the right storage capacity for your needs.
