Solar batteries can power anything from outlets to freezers to an entire home. The size of your batteries determines how much you’ll be able to power in the event of a power outage and for how long. Our Solar Experts will prepare a custom design and answer your questions along the way.

When the power grid goes down, a grid-tied solar system with battery storage automatically switches to island mode, meaning your home runs off stored solar energy instead of drawing from the grid. This transition happens seamlessly with the help of your inverter and battery system, ensuring you have backup power when you need it most. 

Under normal conditions, a grid-tied solar system operates as follows: 

• Solar panels generate electricity, which is first used to power your home. 

• Excess energy is either stored in the battery or sent back to the grid for credits (net metering). 

• Your home still draws power from the grid when solar production is low or at night. 

Installing a solar and battery system solely for backup power in case of a grid outage is not the most cost-effective approach. Your battery capacity, solar array size, and backup power needs should all be carefully balanced to maximize your investment and energy independence. Our team ensures that every system we design provides practical, long-term value for your home.
