Solar & Battery Storage California
Pairing solar panels with battery storage keeps your lights on during outages, lowers your monthly bills, and gives you complete control over your energy. You'll store excess solar power instead of sending it all back to the grid, so you can use clean energy whenever you need it most.

Why Combine Solar with Battery Storage?
Adding a battery to your solar system unlocks three major benefits: reliable backup power when the grid goes down, bigger savings by avoiding peak utility rates, and the freedom to decide when you pull electricity from the grid. It's the smartest way to maximize your solar investment and protect your home from California's unpredictable power supply.
- How it Works
How Solar + Battery Systems Work
Your solar panels generate electricity during the day. Any power you don't use immediately either charges your battery or flows back to the grid. When the sun goes down or the grid goes out, your home automatically draws from the battery instead of the utility. It's a seamless system that keeps you powered and in control.
- Charging Your Battery with the Sun
Extra daytime solar energy is stored in your battery for later use.
- Using Stored Energy When You Need It Most
Automatically use battery power at night or during high-rate hours
- Working with Net Metering & Utility Programs
Smartly store, use, or export energy to match utility programs.
- Stay Powered During Outages
Battery keeps essential appliances running when the grid goes down.
- Take Control of When You Use Power
Control when you use grid power or clean stored solar energy.
- Maximize Your Solar Savings
Store solar power and use it during peak hours to save more
Use Cases for Solar + Battery Storage
Most California homeowners add batteries for one of three reasons: backup power during outages, protection from extreme weather events, or bigger savings by avoiding peak electricity rates. Often, you get all three benefits at once.
Backup Power for Critical Loads
You choose which circuits matter most, like your refrigerator, lights, phone chargers, Wi-Fi router, and medical equipment. The battery keeps those circuits running during blackouts, so your daily routines stay intact and your food doesn’t spoil.
Be Prepared for Extreme Weather & PSPS Events
Time-of-Use & Peak Rate Management
California utilities charge more for electricity during peak demand hours, usually late afternoon and evening. With a battery, you use your stored solar energy during those expensive windows instead of paying premium rates. Over time, those savings add up significantly.

Battery Options & Equipment
We offer battery energy storage systems from premium manufacturers with proven reliability and strong warranties. You can choose whole-home backup or critical load coverage, and we’ll recommend the best configuration based on whether you’re installing new solar or adding storage to an existing system.
Premium Battery Brands
We install lithium-ion batteries from trusted brands that meet California’s strict safety and performance standards. These batteries are designed for daily cycling, long lifespan, and seamless integration with solar power systems.
Whole-Home vs. Critical Load Backup
Whole-home backup powers everything in your house but requires a larger battery. Critical load backup focuses on essential circuits like lights, refrigeration, and Wi-Fi, which keeps costs lower and extends runtime during outages. We’ll help you decide which approach fits your priorities.
AC-Coupled & DC-Coupled Systems
DC-coupled batteries connect directly to your solar panels for maximum efficiency in new installations. AC-coupled batteries work with existing solar systems and offer more flexibility. We design whichever configuration makes the most sense for your setup and budget.
Monitoring, Warranties & Long-Term Support
Your solar and battery system comes with comprehensive warranties and app-based monitoring that gives you complete visibility into performance. We stand behind every installation and remain available for support, updates, and service throughout the life of your system.
Real-Time App Monitoring
You'll have access to an app that shows solar production, battery charge level, and home energy consumption in real time. You can see exactly when your battery is charging, when it's powering your home, and how much you're saving compared to grid electricity.
Strong Product & Performance Warranties
Solar panels typically carry 25-year warranties, and premium batteries are covered for 10 to 15 years depending on the model. We also guarantee that your solar facility will produce the energy we promise and that your battery will perform as designed.
Our Ongoing Support & Maintenance
Our team monitors your system remotely and will reach out if we notice any performance issues. If you have questions about your app, want to adjust backup settings, or need service, we're just a call away. All our warranties are transferable if you sell your home.
- FAQS
Solar + Battery FAQ
Homeowners ask us a lot of questions about how long batteries last during outages, whether they can add storage to existing solar, and how to size a battery correctly. Here are straightforward answers to the most common ones.
How Long Will My Battery Last During an Outage?
Runtime depends on battery capacity and how much power you're using. A typical home battery can run essential circuits for 8 to 24 hours. If you have solar, the battery recharges during the day, which extends backup indefinitely as long as the sun is shining.
Can I Add a Battery to My Existing Solar System?
Yes, in most cases. We can retrofit battery storage to existing solar panel systems using an AC-coupled configuration. We'll evaluate your current setup, inverter type, and electrical panel to determine the best approach and whether any upgrades are needed.
How Big of a Battery Do I Need?
Battery size depends on which appliances you want to back up and for how long. If you only need lights and refrigeration for a few hours, a smaller battery works fine. If you want whole-home coverage or multi-day backup, you'll need more storage capacity. We'll help you find the right balance between cost and coverage.
