Battery Backup for Victor Homes
A home battery for Victor, added to existing solar or paired with new panels.
Battery Storage for Victor homes
Older Victor homes often need an electrical check before a battery goes in, so we look at the panel first. That puts Victor in the same service area as Divide and Manitou Springs.
A good battery plan for Victor is specific: which circuits, for how long, and how it recharges. We work that out on site and stand behind the install with a 10-year workmanship warranty.
