Battery Backup Solutions

Keep your lights on, even during power outages.

Dreaming about energy independence? About keeping the lights on when the neighborhood power goes out? Want to be a bold energy pioneer? And maximize your solar production? Then battery backup (also called home energy storage) is likely what you’re looking for.

Imagine these benefits…

  • Lessening your dependence on the utility grid

  • Using that clean solar power you captured all day, at night

  • Always keeping your lights on, refrigerator cold, and water running even when the grid goes down

  • Leading the charge in the renewable energy revolution

Of course, batteries have been around for a long time. So why is everyone talking about them now?

Two big-time reasons: technology… and technology.

The bulk of research and development in clean energy these days is going into improving battery storage. The current generation of lithium-ion batteries is leaps and bounds better than the old lead-acid batteries. While lead-acid batteries were costly, needed continuous maintenance, and were hazardous to have on-site, lithium-ion batteries are cheaper, smaller, and much safer to use for the perfect home solar battery system.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Battery Backup Systems

  • About 20% (and counting) of our customers add batteries to their solar systems. When living off-grid, a household needs batteries to hold the extra power, but when connected to the utility grid (like the systems Sugar Hollow Solar currently installs), most people who add batteries desire more safety and security by knowing their lights will stay on when the power goes out. If you stay connected to the utility grid, there is a system known as Net Metering where your excess solar power flows into the utility grid when you are overproducing and you build up credits.

  • We’re generally unable to do that for an array of reasons unfortunately, but we’re always happy to talk this out if you want to give us a call.

  • Homeowners looking to protect themselves against outages and blackouts should definitely consider a battery backup system to gain independence from power outages.

  • Each house is a special case in terms of how many home storage batteries you need. We look at your desired utility offset, your energy usage, and how much space you have to determine the number of energy storage batteries that will serve you best.

  • Absolutely! While our focus is on providing batteries paired with solar panels for the cleanest energy solution, we do assist individuals who solely require batteries. Additionally, for those who already have solar panels installed, we offer battery add-ons as a seamless option for enhancing energy storage capabilities.

  • We offer a 10-year warranty for our batteries, a 10-year workmanship warranty as well as a 1-year complimentary service guarantee. This means that if for any reason something goes wrong with your equipment within that time, we’ll take care of it without any charge to you.

    “Sugar Hollow provided great communication, highly professional installation, and intense focus on the customer’s needs. My system has only been up and running for 10 days (10 panels and 2 Powerwalls) and I have used no electricity from the grid the last 7 days! That works!”

    “Late last year we had the solar panels installed and just recently we decided to add battery packs. The team was responsive, professional, understanding, and considerate. The installs BOTH went extremely smoothly despite living in a relatively remote area. Overall would HIGHLY recommend Sugar Hallow for anyone considering solar systems locally!!!”
