Battery storage
Battery storage and backup planning for the equipment and spaces that matter to you. Explore storage alongside new solar or an existing system.
Talk about your project
THE RIGHT STARTING POINT
Decide what you want to keep running.
Start with the purpose of the battery. Supporting selected equipment during an outage and managing stored solar energy are different priorities. The proposed system should make clear what it is intended to do.
Existing equipment
Share the solar, inverter, generator and electrical equipment already on the property.
Location & configuration
Discuss equipment placement, compatibility and how the proposed installation will connect to the home.

COMMON QUESTIONS
What to know
before you start.
Can a battery be added to existing solar?
Sometimes. Compatibility, existing equipment and the desired operation need to be reviewed before defining the installation.
How long will backup last?
Runtime depends on the system and the loads being used. Identify the equipment you want supported so expectations can be discussed for the actual project.
Should I compare a battery with a generator?
Yes, if backup is your main goal. Explain your priorities, available space and existing equipment so the differences can be considered.
