Don’t be left in the dark – Achieve true independence with a backup source of energy for your home or business.

With a backup battery or generator, you can rest assured that you will have power when you need it most and maximize the savings on your solar system.

A backup power system is a set of devices that can store energy from the grid or your home solar system that can be consumed at a later time.

With backup power you can reduce your reliance on the energy grid and take a step further into energy independence. You can also consume the stored energy during peak hours to save money, or when your solar system is not producing power, such as night time. This is also crucial to providing much-needed energy when the grid is compromised. You’ll never be caught in a blackout without power when you have a backup power system of your very own.

Our energy consultant team is available to analyze your home and inform you which may be better, but read more below on which backup power solution may be best for you.

A backup battery can help power your home in weather emergencies or during peak hours for electricity usage. You can recharge your battery through your solar system or by using the stored energy from the grid.
A generator can power your home during power outages, emergencies or planned blackouts. However, generators cannot be powered by solar or the grid. They require a fuel source such as gasoline, diesel, natural gas or propane – and enough of it.

Interlock Kits & Generators - Getting the Most out of your Generator

Setting up a generator manually, running cords, and managing power usage yourself can be inconvenient and potentially hazardous if you find yourself in hazardous weather that affects your power. A transfer switch and interlock kit can make using your generator safer, easier, and more convenient.

An interlock kit and a generator transfer switch disconnects your home from the utility grid before powering it with a generator. This avoids damage to your generator and connected devices when power is restored. This device eliminates the chance of your generator back-feeding the utility system, potentially harming workers who are trying to restore power.

An interlock kit uses a simple metal plate to prevent the main breaker, or the generator’s supply breaker, from turning on while the other is active. During a power outage, the homeowner would turn off the main breaker and all branch circuits, then slide the interlock plate away from the generator’s breaker, allowing it to be turned on. Branch circuits could then be turned on individually, being careful not to exceed the generator’s output capacity.

A transfer switch reroutes important circuits to a secondary service panel, where a transfer switch can disconnect from utility power before connecting those circuits to the generator. Transfer switches can be manual or automatic, and they can power a few select circuits or an entire home.
