Battery Backup for Coal Creek Canyon Homes
Your co-op may be United Power, but an Xcel shutoff can still reach you. Plan backup for hours to days.
Battery Storage for Coal Creek Canyon homes
Coal Creek Canyon spans Jefferson, Gilpin and Boulder counties, and most homes here are on United Power. That surprises people during an Xcel shutoff, because United Power depends on Xcel transmission, so an Xcel event can cut power in the canyon too.
We design battery backup around what you need through those outages: furnace blower, fridge, internet and lights. It switches over automatically, and every install carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.

Xcel did run a public safety power shutoff that month across Boulder, Gilpin, Jefferson and other counties.

Coal Creek Canyon battery backup FAQs
Can you add a battery to my existing solar in Coal Creek Canyon?
Usually. Canyon systems are interconnected with United Power, so we check the inverter, the panel and ownership, and coordinate the battery addition with United Power's process. If your system is leased, we'll review your lease terms.
I'm on United Power. Can an Xcel shutoff still affect me?
It can. The local fire district has noted that an Xcel shutoff may affect United Power customers in the canyon. A battery covers your essentials no matter which utility's decision caused the outage.
Which county handles my Coal Creek Canyon permit?
It depends on your address. The canyon crosses Jefferson, Gilpin and Boulder counties. We confirm which one applies, pull the permit and schedule the inspections.
Which batteries do you install in Coal Creek Canyon, and how are they sized?
We install Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin (FranklinWH) and EG4 as a certified installer. Sizing starts with the loads you'd want during an hours-to-days outage, and actual runtime depends on use. Every canyon install carries a 10-year workmanship warranty.
