Home Office Battery Backups a Good Bet

Working from home? A home office power backup could offer peace of mind while offsetting your electricity bill and making you eligible for a tax credit.

With many workplaces rapidly transitioning to remote work options, backup power for things such as internet, computers, phones, refrigerators and basic A/C is becoming even more important. 

Technology has advanced over the past couple of years. Battery backup systems coupled with solar energy systems offer many advantages to the owner seeking a home backup solution without necessarily needing to back up the entire house.

 Considering a solar + battery backup solution is a seamless way to install a system that provides an ROI, even when the power is up and running. Propane backups can be a great solution for many owners. However, they are only used when the power is out and for homes without pre-existing gas service - installing a large tank is expensive or in many cases not possible. Propane backup also does not qualify for tax incentives. 

Solar + battery systems currently qualify for the federal Solar Income Tax Credit and can provide consistent, seamless power in cases of short or long-term outages. Additionally, the solar component produces power to offset bills throughout the rest of the year when power is operating normally.
