With PSPS outages becoming more frequent in East County and coastal communities vulnerable to grid fluctuations, battery storage provides essential backup power. We primarily install Tesla Powerwalls and Enphase systems configured to keep critical loads running during outages.
For homes near wildfire zones like Rancho Bernardo, we design systems that maintain refrigeration and medical equipment through multi-day outages. Beach-area installations include corrosion-resistant enclosures that withstand salty air. All systems integrate with SDG&E's time-of-use rates to maximize savings during peak pricing hours from 4-9pm.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will batteries last during an outage?
A single Powerwall typically runs refrigerators and lighting for 12-18 hours in San Diego's mild climate. We size systems based on your critical needs.
Do batteries help with NEM 3.0?
Yes. Storing solar energy for evening use significantly improves ROI under California's latest net metering rules.
