Get the most out of your NEM3 Solar Electric System and Never Lose Power Again

Do you remember that late September day when the entire Bay Area awoke to an eerie red-orange sky?

The marine layer, mixed with dense smoke from surrounding forest fires created a sci-fi creepy, Mars-like landscape.

Climate change paired with a crumbling PGE infrastructure means “fire season” is now an actual season for California and Bay Area residents.   And PG&E grid outages are a common occurrence whether from fires, PSPS events or PG&E failing infrastructure.

Energy Storage is the solution.

Providing backup power to your home during a g
rid outage saves the fridge and freezer full of food, keeps your devices and critical (medical) equipment charged and running, and keeps you informed of important news updates, not to mention keeping the lights on.  On top of Backup functionality, Energy Storage Systems are now a necessity for solar to make financial sense under California’s NEM3 program.  Solar charges the batteries in the morning and powers the house in the evening, maximizing your “self-consumption” of solar electricity and minimizing your “import” from PG&E.   And these solar + storage systems are paying themselves off in 4-8 years, leaving you with free electricity and storage thereafter.

Did you know that solar alone can’t power your home during a grid outage? 

I bet not. Most people don’t. Only adding an energy storage system (battery) can give you the security of true grid independence.

If you have an electric vehicle, how do you charge it during a power outage?

Having solar on your roof is a great way to save on electric bills and help the environment. But what happens when the grid goes down?

To maintain power during a grid outage you need an energy storage system behind that rooftop solar array. Our battery backup and energy storage solutions can power your whole home or just the “critical loads” of your home during a power outage. With the state-of-the-art equipment that we install these systems are the only way you can charge your electric vehicle directly from the sun!
