Battery Backup
Power that stays when the grid does not
A battery stores energy so selected circuits can keep running during an outage and after sunset. What it can support depends on equipment size, your loads, and the system design.
What a battery is designed to do
- Store daytime solar production for evening use
- Support selected circuits during a grid outage
- Reduce reliance on the grid during peak periods where utility rules allow
- Work with load management so critical equipment is prioritized
What determines runtime
- Usable capacity of the installed battery or batteries
- Which loads are backed up and how often they cycle
- Starting loads from air conditioning, wells, and pumps
- Weather, solar recharge during the outage, and customer behavior
Coupling approaches
AC-coupled, DC-coupled, and hybrid configurations each suit different equipment. The right approach is determined by your existing or proposed inverter and panel layout.
Safety and code
Installations are performed by licensed personnel and are subject to permitting, inspection, and utility interconnection requirements in your jurisdiction.
Equipment
Brands and compatibility
Backup duration depends on energy use, equipment size, weather, system configuration, and the loads selected. All designs are subject to site verification by a licensed technician.
Next step
Tell us what you want backed up
Share your goals and we will explain which path fits and what verification is required. Nothing is designed, priced, or promised until a technician reviews the site.
Get a realistic backup plan
We start with your loads and goals, then verify equipment on site before any design or price is issued.
