Battery Backup for Valmont Homes
Battery storage for Valmont: automatic backup, sized to your home.
Battery Storage for Valmont homes
Out on open ground east of Boulder, Valmont homes usually have clear, unshaded roofs and room for a battery in a garage or shop. Our Boulder County crews already work nearby in Boulder and Gunbarrel.
We start with what has to keep running when the grid is down, then check the panel, placement and any solar you already have. Each Valmont install carries our 10-year workmanship warranty.

What causes outages in Valmont
Boulder County was one of six counties in Xcel's December 2025 Public Safety Power Shutoff. Shutoffs mostly target high-risk foothills lines, but wind storms also cause ordinary outages on the plains.

Your utility and programs
Xcel's community lists name Valmont as a service community. Xcel notes it does not always serve an entire community, so we confirm the provider on your bill first. Xcel limits a new system to 120% of your previous 12 months of use, and we size the array to fit that rule.
Valmont battery backup FAQs
Can you add a battery to my existing solar in Valmont?
Generally, yes. Microinverter and string systems connect differently, so we check what you have, plus the panel and any lease, before recommending a battery.

Four brands: Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin (FranklinWH) and EG4. We explain the trade-offs for your loads and stand behind the install with a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Is a battery worth it on the plains edge near Boulder?
Outages here are usually storm-related rather than shutoffs, so a battery is mostly about backup for essentials and storing solar. We'll size it to your goals.
