Home Battery Backup
When the grid drops in a Northwest windstorm, a properly sized battery keeps your home running — grid-tied solar alone won't.
Most homeowners don't know that standard grid-tied solar shuts off during an outage for lineworker safety. If you want power when the wind takes the grid down — and in the South Sound, it does — you need a battery.
Sized to what you actually need to keep on
We don't oversell capacity. We figure out what matters during an outage — fridge, furnace fan, well pump, internet, a few circuits or the whole home — then size storage to it and put it in writing.
- Whole-home or essential-circuits backup.
- Pairs with new or existing solar so you recharge by day.
- Storm-ready for Thurston County's outage season.
Solar + storage, one crew
Adding storage alongside a solar install is the most cost-effective path. Already have panels? We retrofit batteries too.
Common questions
Will my solar power my house during a blackout?
Only with a battery. Grid-tied solar disconnects during outages for safety; a battery keeps your essential circuits or whole home running.
How big a battery do I need?
It depends what you want to keep on. We size it to your real outage needs and quote it in writing — no overselling.
