Solar and battery backup systems have long seemed like a bit of a novelty for Florida property owners. Under the right applications, they are now coming into their own as a real asset for businesses and homeowners looking to back-up important loads during grid outages. Optimus Solar recently had the privilege of installing a 40kW battery system at a private residence in Central Florida.

Battery prices have not only come down, but the technology driving their integration has improved tremendously. Managing home battery systems can be as easy as set it and forget it, or as interactive as users desire. Users with a battery backup system receive real-time data on their system operations (see below), offering not only critical information and a lot of fun!

The remote controls available to owners make batteries excellent applications for full-time residents, part-time residents, and business owners who desire peace of mind during long power outages. These systems are extremely handy for owners who are unable to be on-site at all times as well.

The key to solar and battery installations is taking the time to ensure the details are set up for long-term success. The system we recently installed happened to be an Enphase battery system, but we are certified to install multiple types of battery systems and we take whatever time is needed to ensure each system is successful for our clients.  For more information on how a solar and battery backup system can give you peace of mind during an outage, give us a call!
