Battery Backup for Lazy Acres Homes
Outage backup and solar storage for Lazy Acres homes, installed by a local crew.
Battery Storage for Lazy Acres homes
Lazy Acres has more homes than most canyon communities, and many of them are the kind of full-time residences where a whole-day outage really hurts. It's part of our Boulder County service area, alongside Jamestown and Boulder.
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.

Why Lazy Acres loses power
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.
In March 2026, Boulder Reporting Lab reported Xcel's fourth shutoff warning for the county since 2024, during extreme wildfire danger.
What's different about battery backup in Lazy Acres
- Xcel's published list includes Lazy Acres, but Xcel doesn't always serve an entire community. We confirm your utility from your bill before counting any Xcel battery program.
- Source: Xcel Energy Colorado communities served.
- We can back up a short list of essential circuits or most of the house, depending on your loads and budget.
- 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 Colorado communities list includes Lazy Acres for gas and electric service. The utility on your bill sets everything from sizing limits to battery programs, so it's the first thing we confirm for a Lazy Acres home.
Lazy Acres battery backup FAQs
Can you add a battery to my existing solar in Lazy Acres?
Yes, if the equipment is compatible. We look at the inverter, the panel and whether the system is owned or leased, then recommend the simplest way to add storage.
Which battery is best for a Lazy Acres home?
We work with Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin (FranklinWH) and EG4 and will tell you which fits your panel, loads and any existing solar. Every install carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.
Does a battery help during a planned Xcel shutoff in Lazy Acres?
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 Lazy Acres served by Xcel Energy?
Xcel's published list includes Lazy Acres, but Xcel doesn't always serve an entire community. We confirm your utility from your bill before counting any Xcel battery program.
