Project description
I want to install a home battery storage system — a wall-mounted unit like the well-known Powerwall-style products — that stores electricity so my house keeps running when the grid goes down. To be clear about what this job is NOT: I am not asking for a fuel-burning standby generator (no gas, no propane, no engine, no exhaust) and I am not asking for a rooftop solar panel installation. This is specifically a battery that stores energy — whether pulled from the grid overnight on cheap rates or, if I later add solar, from panels on the roof — and then discharges it silently through my electrical panel when the power goes out.
My house has a 200-amp panel and I would like the battery wired to back up the essential circuits: refrigerator, well pump, a few lighting circuits, and the home office where I work remotely. I do not currently have solar panels, so for now the unit would simply charge from the grid, but I want the wiring and the inverter setup to be solar-ready so a panel array can be added later without redoing the electrical work. I would like a system in the 10-13 kWh capacity range, which from what I have read should cover my critical loads for a day or more during an outage.
I need a licensed electrician or solar-battery installer who pulls the proper permits, handles inspection, and provides a clear walkthrough of the automatic transfer switch and the app that monitors charge level. Please include manufacturer warranty registration and a written summary of which circuits are protected.
