Power when the grid stops

Backup through outages, and a way to use your own solar in the expensive evening hours instead of exporting it cheap.

Two jobs, one battery

Backup and bill control

Backup. When the utility drops, a properly installed battery keeps your house running. How much of your house depends on how the system is designed — which is exactly what a SPAN panel lets you decide and change later.

Bill control. Under NEM 3.0, exported solar earns a fraction of what you pay to buy power back in the evening peak. Storing your midday surplus and using it at 6pm instead of buying it is where a lot of the value now sits.

Sizing matters more than brand. A battery too small to carry your evening load will disappoint you; one sized for a fantasy scenario is money you did not need to spend. We size against your real interval data where the utility makes it available.

How we scope a battery

  • What you want backed up — whole home or essential loads
  • How long you want to ride through an outage
  • Your rate plan and when your peak hours fall
  • Existing or planned solar production
  • Main panel capacity and whether SPAN changes the equation
  • Physical space, ventilation and code clearances
Equipment

Tesla, Franklin and Enphase

Three well-supported platforms. We spec to the house, not to whatever we have in the warehouse.

Tesla

Widely deployed, strong app, whole-home backup options. A common default for good reason.

Franklin

Flexible AC-coupled design that retrofits well onto existing solar, with straightforward whole-home backup.

Enphase

Modular capacity and a natural fit where the solar is already Enphase microinverter-based.

Whichever we recommend, the exact model and capacity is in the written proposal before you sign.

Straight answers

What a battery will and will not do

It will

  • Keep selected circuits running through an outage
  • Let you use your own solar at peak-rate hours
  • Protect you from the worst of time-of-use pricing
  • Charge from solar, so it refills during a multi-day outage

It will not

  • Run an unlimited load forever — capacity is finite
  • Pay for itself in a year
  • Eliminate your utility bill on its own
  • Back up a house it was never sized to back up
