Backup power · Solar + battery
Make your own power, and keep it when the grid goes down.
Rooftop solar installed by a licensed electrical contractor, with a home battery so the lights stay on in an outage.
Homes with a good roof and a long view.
- Lower power bills. Use what your panels make before you buy from the utility.
- Backup in an outage. Paired with a battery, solar keeps the essentials running and recharges the battery during the day.
- Planning an EV or heat pump. Size the system and the panel once, for the loads you're adding.
- Already have solar? We add a battery or backup panel to an existing system.
Designed, wired, permitted, explained.
- An honest look first. Roof direction, shade and your power use. If solar won't pay off on your house, we tell you.
- System design sized to your use, with room for a battery later if you don't add one now.
- Panels, inverter and wiring, installed by our licensed crew.
- Panel check. If your electrical panel needs an upgrade to take solar, it's in the same quote.
- Permit, inspection and the utility paperwork to connect the system.
- Battery and backup panel, when you want power in an outage.
- Walkthrough of the system and its app.
A price you see up front.
Solar depends on the size of the system, your roof and whether you add a battery. The quote is written, line by line, with what the system should make in a year.
What people ask.
Does solar keep my power on in an outage?
Not by itself. A grid-tied system shuts off when the grid goes down, so it can't send power onto the lines while crews are working. Add a battery and backup switching, and your home keeps the essentials running while the panels recharge the battery.
Does solar make sense in the Northwest?
It can. Panels make most of their power from spring to fall and much less in winter. Whether it pays off depends on your roof, shade and how much power you use. We look at those first and tell you plainly.
Can you add a battery to the solar I already have?
Usually, yes. We check your inverter and panel and tell you what it takes.
Are there rebates or tax credits?
They change often. We'll tell you what we know applies to your home when we quote, and point you to the source so you can check it.
Do I need a permit?
Yes. We pull the electrical permit, book the inspection and handle the paperwork to connect with your utility.
Who services it later?
We do. Ask about adding it to the yearly maintenance plan.
After-sale support for your homebuyers.
We already wire new homes for builders. We can rough in generator inlets, battery-ready panels and EV-charger circuits during the build, and take the backup-power and service calls after closing.
Your buyers get a licensed electrician who knows the house. Your schedule stays yours: homeowner jobs never pull our new-construction crews off a builder's job.
