Battery Systems
As your solar panels harvest power from the sun, the energy not being used is stored in the battery system.
Realizing solar’s full potential
The stored energy from battery systems can be used at night, during power outages or during peak demand times. This is typically between 1 p.m. and 9 p.m. when everyone in your neighborhood is using electricity at the same time … for lights, air conditioning, cooking, washing, working, etc. We offer battery systems with and without solar. The two systems operate a bit differently.
Battery Systems with Solar
- Pairing battery storage with solar maximizes energy efficiency and self-reliance. Some of the benefits include:
- Energy backup during power outages
- Load shifting during peak demand
- Increased solar utilization
- Reduced reliance on utility rates
Battery Systems without Solar
- Even without solar panels, battery systems can store energy from the grid during off-peak hours. They are ideal for:
- Time-of-use (TOU) rate savings
- Backup power without solar investment
- Demand response and energy arbitrage for business
Capture. Store. Sustain.
Battery systems are one more element in realizing the full potential of solar energy.
Beyond Backup
For homeowners, the battery system is an important backup system, but on a larger scale, it helps stabilize the grid by balancing overall supply and demand.
How Our Battery Backup Process Works
Step 1 - Free Consultation at Your Home
One of our team members visits your home to help determine if a battery system, with or without solar, is the right fit. We’ll explain how battery storage works, review your energy needs, and walk you through available backup and efficiency options.
Step 2 - Custom System Design and Estimate
We create initial drawings, confirm placement and compatibility, and provide a detailed cost estimate. We’ll help you understand your return on investment, time-of-use savings, and how the system supports grid stability or outage protection.
Step 3 - Permits and Professional Installation
After you sign the contract, we handle all paperwork—permits, HOA approval, and utility access. Installation takes 1 to 3 days. We meet all NEC and local code standards to ensure safety and long-term performance.
Step 4 - Testing, Activation, and Ongoing Support
Once installed, we test the system thoroughly. After activation, you're ready to store energy from the grid or your solar panels. You’ll have direct access to our team for support, performance checks, maintenance, and future upgrades.
