Battery storage for homes and businesses, planned around daily energy use and the loads you want to protect.
01
Start with the loads that matter
List the appliances and equipment you need during an outage. Refrigerator, well pump, communications and heating loads have different power requirements. Decide which are essential and which can wait.
02
Capacity is not the whole story
Stored energy affects duration; output power affects what can run at once. Review both with the proposed backup circuits and the assumptions used to estimate runtime.
03
Work with existing solar
Bring the inverter and panel details if solar is already installed. Compatibility, electrical configuration and utility requirements determine whether and how storage can be added.
04
Review everyday operation
Ask how the battery will charge and discharge, what reserve is held for an outage and how the settings relate to your utility tariff. Savings depend on usage and rates, not simply owning a battery.
05
Installation and ongoing support
Equipment location, clearances, electrical work and approvals belong in the site assessment. At handoff, review monitoring access, alerts, warranty terms and service contacts.
06
Check incentives before budgeting
California assistance is subject to eligibility and available funding. Confirm the relevant program, reservation status and any utility tariff changes before counting a rebate toward the price.
