Battery Storage for Rollinsville homes
Rollinsville is on the mountain side of Gilpin County, where long lines and winter weather make a battery worth considering. Homes here are in Gilpin County, near Nederland and Coal Creek Canyon.
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. Rollinsville installs carry our 10-year workmanship warranty.

What's different about battery backup in Rollinsville
- Rollinsville is served by United Power, not Xcel Energy, so Xcel's battery programs don't apply. We check what your utility currently offers for batteries before we quote.
- Source: United Power service information.
- Monitoring shows how much backup you have left and when the grid is down, from your phone.
- If your home is on a well, we measure the pump's startup draw before sizing, since it is often the biggest backup load.
