What is a Home Battery Backup System?
Battery backup is reliable, quiet power with no surges for your home when you need it. When charged by your solar panel installation, this system can provide a dependable source of power during outages. Additionally, it can enhance the return on investment for your solar system by reducing or eliminating the avoided cost system in Louisiana.
Why do I need it?
We all know that Louisiana has a lot of power outages, and the outages can be extensive. According to Newsweek, nine days after Hurricane Ida,400,000 residents were still out of power. Battery Storage can be the answer. The systems are QUIET, require virtually no maintenance, do not require fuel and transfer on without power surges.
How much does it cost?
It's not inexpensive, but when compared to the cost of purchasing a generator and the expenses of operating it, the costs are comparable.
Will the system work with my existing generator?
Yes, combining solar panels, batteries, and a generator can provide a plentiful supply of energy on demand. You have the option to tailor the system with a more compact battery setup and generator for home protection. The generators are capable of recharging the batteries, when necessary, with the advantage being that the generator operates only briefly.
Can I retrofit a battery system with my existing solar?
Yes, however, there are variables that affect the suitability of this solution. The costs and benefits will depend on if your system is in good working order, how old your system is, and the size of the system. We can also add on to your existing system with adequate space.
