BATTERY BACKUP FOR YOUR HOME

Keep the things that matter running when the power goes out.

Oregon power outages can happen any time of year—from winter storms and falling trees to wildfire-related shutoffs. A home battery gives you backup power automatically when the grid goes down, while your solar system can help recharge your batteries when enough sunlight is available.

No extension cords. No scrambling when the lights go out. Your battery simply steps in when you need it.

What do you want to keep running?

This is usually where we start.

For some homeowners, backup power means keeping the refrigerator, Wi-Fi, lights and a few important outlets running. Others want to include things like a well pump, freezer or other essential equipment. And some homeowners want to explore backing up most of their home.

You don't need to know how many batteries you need—or understand kilowatt-hours to get started.

Tell us what you want to keep powered and for how long. We'll help figure out the rest.

Already Have Solar? You Can Still Add Batteries.

Sunpath can evaluate your existing solar system, determine which battery options are compatible and identify any updates that may be needed before installation. Some solar systems are already battery-ready, while others may need a few upgrades to meet current electrical codes.

Adding Batteries With New Solar

If you're considering solar, it's also a great time to think about backup power.

During your free solar assessment, we'll talk about which parts of your home you'd like to keep running during an outage and how long you'd like your backup to last. From there, we'll recommend the amount of battery storage that makes sense for your home and budget.

Battery Options That Fit Your Home

There isn't one battery that's right for every house.

Sunpath installs several high-quality battery systems, including Enphase, FranklinWH and SigEnergy. Each has advantages depending on your existing solar equipment, how much backup power you want, your available space and your budget.

You don't have to choose the battery before you call us. That's our job.

Oregon Battery Incentives

Battery storage may qualify for significant Energy Trust of Oregon incentives for eligible PGE and Pacific Power customers.

As an Energy Trust Trade Ally, Sunpath will determine which incentives are available for your project and handle the paperwork required to secure them.
