Store your solar power for when you actually need it
Solar panels stop producing the moment the sun sets or the grid goes down. A solar battery captures the power your panels make during the day, so you can use it at night, during peak rate hours, or when an outage takes the neighborhood dark.
We integrate solar batteries with new and existing PV systems across Salt Lake, Tooele, and Utah counties. Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ Battery, Franklin WH, FranklinWH aPower, and others. We size the battery to your real loads, wire a critical-load subpanel for backup, and handle the permit and Rocky Mountain Power coordination.

Why add a solar battery
Benefits of Adding Battery Storage
Power through any outage
Your fridge, furnace, lights, and internet stay on automatically when the grid drops. No generator, no fumes, no manual transfer.
Use your solar after sunset
Stop selling cheap solar back to the grid and re-buying expensive evening power. Store it, use it, lower your bill.
Hedge against rate hikes
Utah utility rates climb every year. Battery storage locks in your own solar at today's price and pays back over time.

Solar Battery Questions
Solar Battery FAQs for Utah Homeowners
Which solar battery is best?
Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ Battery, Franklin WH, and FranklinWH aPower are the most common in Utah right now. The best choice depends on your existing inverter, how much backup you need, and your budget. We're brand-neutral and will walk you through honest options.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Almost always yes. AC-coupled batteries like the Powerwall work with most existing string and microinverter solar systems. DC-coupled options can be a fit if your inverter supports it. We assess your specific setup before recommending an approach.
How big a battery do I need?
Most Utah homes land between 10 kWh and 30 kWh of storage. 10 to 13 kWh covers a critical-load setup (fridge, furnace, sump, well, lights). 20 kWh or more lets you back up the whole home including AC. We size to your actual usage, not a sales pitch.
Will my battery work during a power outage?
Yes, that's the whole point of grid-forming batteries like Powerwall and Franklin WH. When the grid drops, the battery automatically disconnects from the grid and powers your home from stored energy. It restores in under a second.
How much does solar battery installation cost in Utah?
Most full battery installs land between $12,000 and $28,000 installed depending on battery brand, capacity, and how much critical-load wiring is needed. Federal tax credits currently cover 30% of the install. We give a firm written quote after the on-site assessment.
Do I qualify for tax credits?
Yes, the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit currently covers 30% of solar battery installation costs through 2032 when paired with solar. Talk to your tax professional, but most Utah homeowners qualify.
Do I need a critical-load panel?
Not always, but it's the cleanest way to control what gets backed up during an outage. We install one when it makes the system work better or saves you battery capacity. We'll explain whether yours needs one.
Can you install a battery without solar?
Yes. Standalone batteries can charge from the grid during off-peak hours and discharge during peak, giving you backup power and rate-arbitrage savings without solar.
