Battery Backup for Laporte Homes
Battery storage for Laporte: automatic backup, sized to your home.
Battery Storage for Laporte homes
Laporte sits where the plains meet the foothills, so homes get strong sun and also the wind that comes with the nearby foothills. It's part of our Larimer County service area, alongside Fort Collins and Wellington.
Tell us what you can't be without in an outage. We'll measure those loads, look at the panel and pick a battery size that covers them, backed by our 10-year workmanship warranty.

- Already have solar? We can add a battery after a compatibility check of your inverter and panel.
Your utility and programs
Xcel's community lists name Laporte for gas and electric service, though some rural Larimer addresses are on other utilities. The utility on your bill sets everything from sizing limits to battery programs, so it's the first thing we confirm for a Laporte home.
