Home Battery Backup Installation in Austin
Austin summers put the grid under real strain, and a properly sized battery keeps your home running through it — silently, instantly, and every day if it’s paired with solar. We design from your actual usage, install under our Texas electrical contractor license, and handle the Austin Energy paperwork.
Backup power, overdue?
Sized with math.
What loads matter, for how long, from your real consumption data — that’s the design conversation. Sometimes the answer is a smaller battery than you expected; sometimes it’s storage paired with your existing solar so the battery refills every day of a long outage. We show the math either way.
Enphase and FranklinWH certified; SPAN smart-panel certified for whole-home control; existing installs serviced including Tesla Powerwall. Battery on solar we didn’t install? A specialty.
Working with Austin Energy.
Battery systems interconnect through Austin Energy’s distributed-generation process before they operate. We handle the application and approval as part of the install — and confirm your utility first, since the metro’s territory lines interleave with other providers.
From load list to lights-on.
Austin battery backup, answered.
Can a battery run my whole house?
Often — with right-sized capacity and smart load control. Whether it’s worth it depends on your loads; we show both designs.
Will my solar work during an outage?
Grid-tied solar alone shuts off by design. With a battery, it keeps producing and recharges storage daily.
Do I need solar first?
No — batteries back you up from grid charge alone; solar extends outage endurance.
Does Austin Energy have to approve it?
Yes, through interconnection review — we handle it.
Powerwall, Enphase, or FranklinWH?
Honest answer: it depends on your loads, panel, and goals. We’re certified across multiple platforms precisely so the recommendation fits you, not a quota.
