A home battery system stores energy for when you need it most — during power outages, grid failures, or high-demand periods.
Unlike generators, batteries operate quietly and instantly, without fuel. They can power essential loads such as:
Refrigerators & Freezers
Well Pumps
Lighting & Outlets
Internet & Security Systems
HVAC (depending on size)
Medical Equipment
The size of your battery system depends entirely on what you want powered and for how long — which is why we start with an in-person consultation.
With increased grid instability and rising energy costs, battery systems offer:
For many homes, batteries are now the preferred backup solution — especially when paired with a right-sized solar system.

Helpful guides, tips, and insights to help you choose the right backup power solution.
Without a battery, a standard grid-tied solar system shuts off automatically during an outage — this is a safety requirement to protect utility workers. Adding a battery backup changes that entirely. When the grid goes down, your battery kicks in and keeps your home powered using the energy your panels have stored.
Yes. We work with multiple battery brands to find the right fit for your home, budget, and energy goals. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through the options and recommend the best solution for your situation. Call us at (509) 593-8036 to get started.
It depends on the size of your battery bank and how much you’re drawing. A single battery can typically power essential loads — lights, refrigerator, phone charging, a few outlets — for 10-24 hours. Pair it with your solar panels and the system recharges during the day, giving you extended or even indefinite backup during a prolonged outage.
Yes, it’s possible. A properly sized solar array combined with enough battery storage can power your home independently of the utility grid entirely. We’ll design a system around your actual energy usage to make sure you’re covered day and night, summer and winter. Off-grid setups require more planning and typically a larger investment, but for the right homeowner, it’s a great long-term solution.
Yes. For homeowners who want the ultimate backup plan, we install generators that can work alongside your solar and battery system. A generator provides peace of mind on extended cloudy stretches or during high-demand periods when batteries alone may not be enough.
It depends on your priorities and budget. A battery is silent, automatic, and charges from your solar panels — great for short outages and daily energy independence. A generator is a powerful backup for extended outages or off-grid living, but requires fuel. Many of our customers choosea complete, resilient energy system. We’ll help you figure out what makes the most sense for your home.
In most cases, yes. If you already have solar installed — whether by another company or us — we can evaluate your current system and recommend compatible battery options. Give us a call,and we’ll take a look.
