Battery Backup for Red Cliff Homes
Keep the essentials on in Red Cliff when the grid goes down.
Battery Storage for Red Cliff homes
In a narrow, high valley like Red Cliff's, sun hours and snow both shape the design, and a battery helps through winter outages. Homes here are in Eagle County, near Vail and Frisco.
We list the loads you need during an outage, such as heat, refrigeration, lights, internet and any well pump, check your panel and where a battery can go, and size the system to match. Every Red Cliff install carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.
