Battery backup, sized to your home and habits.
Whole-home or essential-circuit battery backup — for storms, grid hiccups, and solar systems that want a place to send their afternoon. Cash and financing, no leases, no third-party ownership.
Battery backup is less about the battery — and more about which circuits stay on.
When the grid goes down in South Louisiana, you don’t need every outlet running — you need the right ones. A well-designed battery system keeps the fridge cold, the lights on, the wifi up, and the AC running long enough to ride out the worst of it. That’s the design conversation we have first.
A battery does the most work when the rest of the system is set up to use it well. The wiring, the panel, the loads — all of it matters.
We install whole-home and essential-circuit battery systems, add storage to existing solar, and handle the panel work and critical-loads subpanel that most installs need. If a generator is the better fit for your case, we’ll say so.
Larger jobs — multi-battery configurations, commercial backup, grid-tied systems coordinated with the utility — planned, permitted, and scheduled the same way. We document everything and walk you through how the system runs before we leave.
From a few essential circuits to whole-home backup.
Six common scopes we handle. If your situation doesn’t fit one of these neatly, ask — most don’t.
Whole-Home Battery
Large-capacity installs that keep the whole house running through an outage — or close to it. Sized to your load and your budget.
Essential-Circuit Backup
Smaller, more affordable configurations that keep the fridge, lights, internet, and a few outlets on. Often the right starting point.
Solar + Storage
Battery integrated with a new solar install. Daytime solar charges the battery; the battery powers the house when the sun goes down or the grid goes out.
Add Storage to Existing Solar
Retrofit a battery onto a system you already own. Compatibility depends on the inverter — we’ll check before quoting.
Critical-Loads Subpanel
The panel work that makes battery backup actually work — isolating the circuits the battery should run during an outage.
Commercial Backup
Light-commercial battery installs — offices, small retail, small medical.
Four steps. Power when you need it.
Here’s exactly what happens from your first call to inspection sign-off.
Load & Site Assessment
We walk through what you actually need running in an outage, look at your panel and existing wiring, and figure out what size system makes sense.
Quote
Battery size, install plan, clear price, clear timeline. No leases, no PPAs. If a permit or utility coordination is needed, it’s laid out up front.
Install & Inspection
Crew handles the battery mount, wiring, subpanel work, and inverter integration. For permitted work, we schedule and meet the inspector — you don’t have to.
Walkthrough
We show you the monitoring app, what the system does in an outage, what maintenance looks like, and leave you with documentation for your records.
Battery backup, plainly answered.
The questions we hear most often. If yours isn’t here, ask.
How long will a battery actually keep my house running?
It depends on the battery’s capacity and what you’re running. A typical home battery can keep essential circuits (fridge, lights, wifi, a few outlets) going for around 12–24 hours. Add AC into the mix and you’re looking at hours, not a day — unless you have multiple batteries or solar charging during daylight.
The honest answer is: we’ll size it for the runtime you want, and tell you what that costs before you commit.
Do I need solar to have a battery?
No. Battery-only installs work fine — the battery charges from the grid during normal operation and discharges during an outage. If you do have solar, the battery can charge from that too, which extends runtime during a longer outage.
Can I add a battery to the solar I already have?
Often yes, but it depends on your existing inverter. Some inverters are storage-ready and just need the battery added; others require an additional component or an AC-coupled battery setup. We’ll check before quoting and tell you straight what’s involved.
What brands do you install?
We work with major residential battery brands and pick based on what fits the install — capacity needs, inverter compatibility, warranty, and what makes sense for your home.
Battery or generator — which makes more sense?
Different tools. Batteries are quiet, automatic, and pair with solar; they shine for short-to-medium outages and for running essential circuits cleanly. Generators handle multi-day outages and large loads (whole-home AC for days) more economically, but they need fuel and maintenance.
If you tell us how often the grid goes down at your address and what you want to keep on, we’ll tell you which one we’d recommend — and we install both.
What about permits and the utility?
We pull permits where required and handle utility interconnection paperwork on grid-tied systems. You don’t need to chase anything — we schedule, document, and follow up.
