Battery Backup
Be Ready for Anything. Store Your Power and Stay in Control
For true energy independence, a battery energy storage system lets you take control of your power. Day or night. Grid or no grid. We install the latest lithium-ion battery technology to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance. Whether paired with new solar, added to an existing system, or installed as a standalone backup, battery storage helps you keep the lights on, reduce your reliance on the utility, and protect your home from unpredictable outages.
Why Homeowners Choose Storage
Batteries allow you to store excess solar energy during the day and use it when you need it most. At night. During outages. Or when utility rates are highest. In the event of a grid failure, your battery automatically powers your critical circuits to keep the lights on, the fridge running, and your family comfortable.
But energy storage does more than provide backup. It also improves your energy independence, reduces demand on the grid, and helps you use more of your own solar power. For Rhode Island homeowners facing some of the highest utility rates in the country, battery storage is a practical way to keep energy costs more predictable.
