About the service
I install home battery backup power walls — stacked lithium storage cabinets that keep lights, refrigeration, well pumps, and medical equipment running through an outage, with an optional tie-in to an existing or new solar array. Every job starts with a walk-through of the mounting location: wall material and stud layout, clearance from doors and windows per code, ventilation, ambient temperature swings, and proximity to the main panel and meter so conductor runs stay short and voltage drop stays low. Garage, basement, and exterior mounts are all handled, each with its own bracket and thermal considerations.
Capacity sizing is where most DIY installs go wrong. I sit down with your utility bill history and walk the house to build a real critical-loads list — refrigerator, sump pump, furnace blower, a few circuits of lighting and outlets, internet gear — then size the battery stack and inverter continuous and surge ratings against that list, not against a generic package. If you already run solar panels, I integrate the charge controller and battery inverter into the existing array so daytime production charges the wall directly instead of exporting for pennies, and I size new arrays specifically to keep the battery topped off through cloudy stretches.
Wiring covers DC combiner and disconnects, AC coupling to the main service, rapid-shutdown compliance, and grounding/bonding that passes inspection the first time. The centerpiece for most households is the automatic transfer switch: it senses a utility outage in milliseconds and shifts the designated circuits to battery power with no manual breaker flipping, then seamlessly restores utility power once it's stable. I label the subpanel clearly and walk you through the app-based monitoring so you can see real-time charge state, solar production, and load draw from your phone.
Typical turnaround is a one-day site assessment and load calculation followed by a one- to two-day installation window depending on whether new solar is involved, plus permit filing and utility interconnection paperwork handled on your behalf. I provide a written load list, wiring diagram, and commissioning report so you have documentation for warranty, insurance, and resale. Portfolio photos of completed wall mounts, panel upgrades, and transfer switch installs available on request.
