Battery Backup for Minturn Homes
Battery storage for Minturn: automatic backup, sized to your home.
Battery Storage for Minturn homes
Minturn is one of the few Eagle Valley towns where your utility could be Holy Cross or Xcel, so the bill decides which programs apply. That puts Minturn in the same service area as Vail and Frisco.
Backup only works if it's sized right. We check what your home draws, which circuits matter and how the battery will recharge, then design to that. Minturn installs carry 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
Holy Cross Energy's tariff lists Minturn as served jointly with Xcel Energy, and Xcel's community lists also name Minturn. Holy Cross Energy also serves part of this area. Because published lists don't settle every address, we confirm the utility from your bill before we design, then follow that utility's interconnection steps.
Minturn battery backup FAQs
Can you add a battery to my existing solar in Minturn?
Often, yes. Some systems take an AC-coupled battery and some need different equipment; we confirm compatibility and lease terms before quoting.
Which batteries do you install in Minturn?
We install Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin (FranklinWH) and EG4 systems and match the brand to your home rather than pushing one. Each install has a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Can a battery keep my Minturn home from freezing in an outage?
It can keep the furnace or boiler controls, circulation pumps and heat tape running, which is what prevents freeze damage. We size around those loads.
Is Minturn served by Xcel Energy?
Xcel's published list includes Minturn, but Xcel doesn't always serve an entire community. We confirm your utility from your bill before counting any Xcel battery program.
