Seven Hills battery backup FAQs
Can you add a battery to my existing solar in Seven Hills?
We do it regularly. After checking your inverter, main panel and ownership or lease terms, we recommend a battery that works with what's already on the roof.
What battery brands are available in Seven Hills?
We are certified on Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin (FranklinWH) and EG4. The right pick depends on your loads, your existing inverter and how much backup you want. Our 10-year workmanship warranty covers the install.
How long should a battery last during a shutoff in Seven Hills?
Shutoffs and repairs in the foothills can run for days, so we size around the essentials first: heat controls, refrigeration, the well pump, internet and medical needs. Pairing the battery with solar lets it recharge during the day.
Is Seven Hills served by Xcel Energy?
Xcel's published list includes Seven Hills, but Xcel doesn't always serve an entire community. We confirm your utility from your bill before counting any Xcel battery program.
