Battery backup in Matheson
Matheson ranch homes depend on long MVEA lines, and a battery keeps the essentials going when a plains storm takes them down. Batteries we install: Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4. They pair with new panels or with solar already on the roof.

Matheson solar installation FAQs
Who issues the solar permit for a home in Matheson?
Solar work in Matheson is permitted by Elbert County's building department. We submit the electrical and structural documents it asks for and schedule the inspections around you.
Which utility serves Matheson?
Matheson is MVEA territory. The co-op has its own interconnection and rate rules, and we design the system around them.
How do you decide where panels go on a Matheson home?
Eastern plains acreages get strong sun, strong wind and hail. We design wind-rated racking, use hail-rated panels and often recommend a ground mount near the house or well. We'll tell you plainly if solar doesn't make sense for your site.
