Be prepared for power outages with solar + storage backup. Including a battery for backup power with your solar system empowers you to:
An increase in extreme weather events over the last few years has caused a record number of power outages and $195 billion in property damage. According to a Texas Monthly article, utilities issue repeated requests to conserve energy so the grid can avoid worst-case scenarios like the 2021 energy crisis caused by winter storm Uri. Solar energy with a battery helps ensure your home remains comfortable and secure during these challenging events.
Solar panels collect energy from the sun during the day, but most of our energy needs are in the morning and evening. Without a battery to store the excess energy produced during the day, this excess energy gets sent back to the grid. With a battery, you have the ability to:
Use the excess energy produced during the day to provide power at night instead of drawing all of your evening’s energy needs from the grid.

*Power available from the battery varies depending on the loads connected, energy consumption, and battery configuration. You should never rely on your solar system – even if it includes a battery – to power life support or other medical devices.
Solar + storage helps you maximize your system’s capabilities while decreasing your dependence on the grid, which often relies on non-renewable energy sources like coal or natural gas. By powering your home with clean, renewable solar energy plus battery storage, you're helping to reduce your home's overall carbon footprint.

It’s no secret that more homeowners are financing solar rather than paying cash upfront. Offering financing options makes solar panel installation more attainable to the average homeowner.
As the world continues to shift towards sustainable energy sources, solar is gaining immense popularity. In this evolving landscape, power purchase agreements (PPAs) have re-emerged as a game changer for solar contractors. But what are the benefits of using a PPA compared to buying a solar system outright? Let’s take a closer look.
On December 15, 2022, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved updates to the state’s customer-owned solar energy generation program.
