Battery backup power / energy can be used in a number of ways, and when paired with solar energy, can rapidly increase your return on investment; putting money back into your pocket sooner and saving you even more money over the years to come. Leading solar + battery backup solutions include options from SolarEdge, Enphase, Outback Power and SMA. 

• Emergency power for critical loads and systems
  • Residential Examples: Refrigerators and freezers, lighting, medical equipment
  • Commercial Examples: Computers and servers, pumps, lighting, air conditioning, medical equipment
• Demand (peak) reduction
  • For those that are billed for demand charges (peak load usage) batteries can be used to reduce billing demand
  • Example: In a commercial setting, heavy equipment such as: saws, pumps and cnc machines require much more power to initially start their motors when compared to their normal operating amperage. The startup power of this equipment can be pulled from a battery instead of the electrical utility, thus, reducing peak demand. This reduction in peak demand will directly lower your electric bill since the utility company will no longer see a spike from your equipment.
• Off-grid energy
  • Ideal for remote buildings and equipment
  • Closed loop systems that cannot or do not need to be grid-tied
• Reduce net metering
  • Should you live in a location where your electrical utility is not solar friendly, batteries can be installed so that you can utilize your captured solar energy at night
• Solar + Battery
  • Pair a solar energy system with a battery for long-term power outage protection. Our team can design a system to sustain you, your family or business during blackouts. Operating without the need of the grid, a system can be built where the solar energy system recharges the battery daily.
