Battery Backup for Crisman Homes
Battery backup planned around Crisman's outages, your loads and your utility.
Battery Storage for Crisman homes
Canyon homes in Crisman often have tight roof space and shade from the canyon walls, so we check whether a battery, solar, or both make sense. Our Boulder County crews already work nearby in Jamestown and Boulder.
A good battery plan for Crisman is specific: which circuits, for how long, and how it recharges. We work that out on site and stand behind the install with a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Planning for outages in Crisman
Xcel has used Public Safety Power Shutoffs in Boulder County several times since 2024. Its first one, in April 2024, cut power to about 55,000 customers in Boulder and five other counties, according to Xcel.

What's different about battery backup in Crisman
- Crisman is on Xcel's published community list. We confirm the account on your bill before quoting, then handle Xcel's battery program paperwork with your interconnection.
- Source: Xcel Energy Colorado communities served.
- Switchover to battery power is automatic, so the backed-up circuits stay on without you flipping anything.
- If your home is on a well, we measure the pump's startup draw before sizing, since it is often the biggest backup load.
Your utility and programs
Xcel's community lists name Crisman as a service community. Xcel notes it does not always serve an entire community, so we confirm the provider on your bill first. Xcel limits a new system to 120% of your previous 12 months of use, and we size the array to fit that rule.
Crisman battery backup FAQs
Can you add a battery to my existing solar in Crisman?
Generally, yes. Microinverter and string systems connect differently, so we check what you have, plus the panel and any lease, before recommending a battery.
Which battery is best for a Crisman home?
Our crews are certified on Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin (FranklinWH) and EG4. If you already have solar, compatibility with your inverter often narrows the choice. 10-year workmanship warranty on every job.
Does a battery help during a planned Xcel shutoff in Crisman?
Yes. During a Public Safety Power Shutoff, a battery switches on automatically and covers the circuits you chose, and solar can recharge it in daylight.
Is Crisman served by Xcel Energy?
Crisman is on Xcel's published community list. We confirm the account on your bill before quoting, then handle Xcel's battery program paperwork with your interconnection.
