Solar Battery Backup for Severance Homes
Xcel Energy or Poudre Valley REA, depending on your address. We check first, then size backup around your essentials.
Battery Storage for Severance homes
Severance homes are served by either Xcel Energy or Poudre Valley REA depending on the address, as the town notes on its electric service page. Because battery programs and interconnection rules depend on the utility, that's the first thing we check for a Severance project.
From there we plan backup for the circuits you want covered, whether that's a fridge and internet or a larger share of the house, and confirm how the battery works with solar you have or plan to add. Every Severance install carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.
