Battery Backup for Dakota Ridge Homes
Battery backup planned around Dakota Ridge's outages, your loads and your utility.
Battery Storage for Dakota Ridge homes
Dakota Ridge is suburban, but its west side backs up to the foothills, so battery backup is about both shutoff weather and everyday bill control. That puts Dakota Ridge in the same service area as Ken Caryl and Morrison.
We plan a Dakota Ridge battery around real numbers: your panel, your loads and how long you want to ride out an outage. The install is covered by our 10-year workmanship warranty.
