Battery Backup for Stratmoor Homes
Battery storage for Stratmoor: automatic backup, sized to your home.
Battery Storage for Stratmoor homes
Stratmoor homes are on Colorado Springs Utilities, so the CSU process sets the steps for both solar and batteries. We serve Stratmoor from the same crews that work in Colorado Springs and Fountain.
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 Stratmoor install carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.

What causes outages in Stratmoor
Outages here are usually short. In February 2026, KRDO reported 637 Colorado Springs Utilities customers out between Stratmoor and Security-Widefield for several hours. CSU itself says onsite storage isn't necessary because outages are minimal, so a battery here is mostly about storing your own solar and covering the occasional outage.
What's different about battery backup in Stratmoor
- Stratmoor is served by Colorado Springs Utilities, not Xcel Energy, so Xcel's battery programs don't apply. We check what your utility currently offers for batteries before we quote.
- CSU's solar program page explains its interconnection order.
- Placement is planned on site: garage, utility wall or outbuilding, with clearances and access in mind.
- Already have solar? We can add a battery after a compatibility check of your inverter and panel.
Your utility and programs
Colorado Springs Utilities serves Stratmoor. CSU's process runs in a set order: utility approval first, then the PPRBD permit, with the permit number added back into the CSU application. CSU uses two meters, one for net metering and one for production. Xcel programs don't apply.
Stratmoor battery backup FAQs
Can you add a battery to my existing solar in Stratmoor?
In most cases. The inverter type and panel space decide how it connects, and leased systems need the lease reviewed. We check all three on site.

Our crews are certified on Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin (FranklinWH) and EG4. If you already have solar, compatibility with your inverter often narrows the choice. 10-year workmanship warranty on every job.

Not necessarily. CSU says outages are minimal. A battery is still useful for storing solar, medical equipment and the occasional outage, and we'll tell you if it isn't worth it for you.
Is Stratmoor served by Xcel Energy?
Stratmoor is served by Colorado Springs Utilities, not Xcel Energy, so Xcel's battery programs don't apply. We check what your utility currently offers for batteries before we quote.
