For a lot of homes and businesses, backup power is the real reason to go solar. Outages are common, and a battery and inverter setup keeps the essentials running when the grid goes down.
What we handle
- Inverter supply and installation.
- Battery banks sized to what you actually need to keep running.
- Integration with a solar system, or as a standalone backup.
- The wiring and changeover so it works safely with your existing panel.
Sizing it right
The question is not just how big a battery, but what you need it to carry and for how long. Keeping a fridge, fans, lights and internet running through an outage is very different from running air conditioning off batteries. We size it to your real needs and your budget rather than overselling capacity you will not use.
Safe integration
Backup power tied in wrong is a hazard to you and to utility workers. The changeover has to isolate your system from the grid correctly during an outage. We do that changeover and the panel work properly. See panel and breaker work.
With or without solar
Batteries and an inverter can pair with a solar array or stand on their own as backup. If you are weighing it up, solar system planning is the place to start.
Frequently asked questions
What can a battery backup actually run?
It depends on the battery size and what you connect to it. Many homes set it up to carry the essentials, a fridge, fans, lights, internet and phone charging, through an outage. Running air conditioning needs a much larger system. We size it to what you need.
Do I need solar to have battery backup?
No. Batteries and an inverter can stand alone as backup that charges from the grid, or pair with a solar array so they also charge from the sun. We will explain which fits your goals.
How long will the backup last during an outage?
That depends on the battery capacity and how much you are running. We size the system around the runtime you need for the loads that matter most to you.
Is it safe to tie backup power into my existing wiring?
Only when the changeover is done correctly so your system is isolated from the grid during an outage. Done wrong it is a hazard to you and to utility workers, which is why we handle the changeover and panel work properly.
