How Our Home Battery Backup Systems Work
Our home battery systems are engineered to keep your home running smoothly during grid failures. Powered by solar and modern battery technology, they provide automatic, seamless backup.
-
1. Solar Input & Charging
Your solar panels generate solar energy during the day, storing extra energy for nighttime use and during outages.
-
2. High-Performance Battery Storage
Energy is stored in durable, long-lasting battery packs sized to meet your home’s kWh and power needs.
-
3. Automatic Transfer During Outages
When the grid fails, your inverter instantly switches your home to battery power through either a manual or automatic transfer switch.
-
4. Essential Circuits Stay Powered
A dedicated sub-panel maintains power to critical loads such as refrigeration, lighting, communication devices, and selected appliances.
-
5. Daily Recharge Cycle
Your solar system automatically recharges the batteries each day (weather permitting), supporting you through extended outages and maximizing system lifespan.
