Solar Electrician and Battery Backup FAQs

Will my solar work during an outage?

Standard grid-tied solar shuts down when the grid does. To keep power on you need a battery or other backup-capable equipment that disconnects from the grid automatically. We can add that to many existing systems.

How many batteries do I need?

One battery typically carries lights, refrigeration, internet and outlets overnight. Running air conditioning or a well pump takes more. We size storage around the circuits you actually want backed up.

Do I need a panel upgrade to add solar?

Sometimes. It depends on your panel's bus rating and main breaker size. We check that first and explain the options, including electrical panel upgrades.

Battery or generator for backup?

Batteries are quiet, automatic and recharge from solar. Generators run longer on fuel. Some California properties use both. See generator installation for the other side of the comparison.

Do you install the solar panels themselves?

Our focus is the electrical work: interconnection, batteries, panels and backup circuits. We coordinate with your solar installer, and we can pair the project with EV charger installation.
