Storing energy for later
A home battery stores electricity for later use. Operation during a grid failure depends on the inverter, system configuration and suitable backup equipment.
What needs to keep working?
Start with priorities such as the fridge, lighting or internet. Air conditioning, water heating and EV charging may demand much more power. Connected loads, remaining charge and the duration of the outage determine what is possible.
Backup or fully off-grid?
A backup-equipped home normally stays connected to the grid. A fully off-grid home must also cover longer periods with less sunshine. It needs a separate assessment, adequate reserves and possibly additional equipment.
Discuss it before installation
Explain what you expect from backup. We can then assess the equipment, switching and circuits needed and reflect those requirements in the proposal.
