When the grid fails, your home doesn’t.
Data centers are pulling record power from Maryland’s grid, and a strained grid means more outages and higher bills. A home battery switches on automatically and keeps your lights on. No generator, no fuel, no noise.
New backup-power programs for qualifying homeowners
A strained grid needs more local backup power, and funders are taking notice. New programs are making home batteries more reachable for certain homeowners than ever before. Eligibility varies and access is limited, so ask us whether you qualify.
Three ways to add backup power.
Every home is different. We size backup to what you want to keep running: just the essentials, or the whole house.
Solar + Battery
Install solar and storage together. The sun recharges your battery every day, so backup keeps going through a longer outage.
- Recharges daily from solar
- Cut your reliance on the grid
- One install, one team
- Also lowers your bill
Add a Battery to Existing Solar
Already have panels? Add storage so your system keeps working when the grid goes down.
- Works with many existing systems
- Turns your panels into backup
- We check compatibility first
Backup-Only Battery
No solar yet? A battery alone still protects against outages and can help you use less peak-hour power.
- Essentials or whole-home sizing
- Add solar later
- Quiet, fuel-free power
The grid is under more strain every year.
Data center demand
New data centers pull enormous amounts of power from the regional grid, tightening supply for homes and raising costs.
Storms and aging lines
Wind, ice and fallen trees knock out neighborhood power, and repairs can take days in rural and waterfront areas.
Things that cannot wait
Medical equipment, a sump pump, food in the freezer and a home office all depend on steady power.
No fuel, no noise
A battery needs no gas, no refueling mid-storm and does not fill your yard with fumes.
Is a home battery right for me?
Four quick questions. An honest answer, even when it is “not yet.”
Stored power, ready the moment you need it.
It stores power
A battery on your wall holds electricity, charged from your solar panels or from the grid.
It senses an outage
When the grid drops, your home is isolated and switches to stored power automatically.
It keeps you running
Lights, refrigerator, internet and the circuits you chose to protect stay on.
Solar + battery, better together
Paired with solar, your battery refills from the sun every day. What is available to you, and what it costs, depends on your home, your utility and the system you choose. We go through it at your free consultation, with no pressure.
Battery backup, answered plainly.
Is there new funding available for battery backup?
Yes, for certain homeowners. Because of the strain on the grid, major energy companies are making funding available for home energy storage, since more local backup power helps a strained grid. That creates a never-before-seen alignment between the homeowner and the funder. Certain homeowners qualify, and only a limited number of companies have access to this funding. Ask us at your free consultation whether you qualify.
What happens to my power when the grid goes out?
With battery backup, your home switches to stored power automatically, usually within a moment, so the lights, refrigerator and other essentials keep running.
Can a battery run my whole house?
It depends on the size of the system and what you want covered. Some homes back up everything; others protect the most important circuits for longer. We size it to how you actually want to ride out an outage.
Do I need solar to have a battery?
No, but the two work best together. Solar can recharge the battery every day, which keeps backup going through a longer outage.
What does it cost?
It varies with the size of the system and your home. We go over options and what may be available to you at your free consultation, with no pressure.
Which battery brands do you offer?
We work with leading home battery systems and recommend the one that fits your home and goals. We explain the differences at your consultation.
Ready to keep your lights on?
Data centers are driving record demand on the regional grid, and Maryland homeowners are the ones paying for it, in higher rates and in less reliable power. Solar locks in your rate, battery backup keeps your lights on when the grid can't, and new programs for qualifying homeowners are opening up with deals that have never existed before. Zero down, zero out of pocket, zero pressure.
