When the grid goes down, what has to stay on?
Storm season shouldn't mean days in the dark. Decide what needs to keep running, for how long, and build a backup plan that actually fits your home — before the next outage.

A quick, honest backup profile in about a minute — no contact info needed to see it.

When the grid goes down, what do you want to keep running?
Start with your goal — we'll tailor the rest around it.
No contact info needed to see your estimate. Multiple options. One better decision.
The honest variables
Usable capacity
The kWh you can actually draw — and how full the battery is when the outage starts.
Your real loads
Fridge and lights sip power; AC, water heaters, and pumps gulp it, with big startup surges.
Recharge strategy
Solar refills the battery by day — but storm clouds cut production when you need it most.

Build a backup plan that fits your home
Tell us what you need to keep running and we'll size an honest option — battery, solar-plus-battery, or another path. If staying as you are makes more sense, we'll tell you.
We compare the numbers. You decide. If solar isn't right for your property, we'll say so.
