Adding a Battery in Wellington
Store more of the solar you already produce for evening use, with outage backup as a second reason to add a battery.
Battery Storage for Wellington homes
Already have solar in Wellington or Bellvue? A battery can hold daytime output for use after the sun goes down. We start by checking your existing equipment and evening electricity use.
Backup is a useful bonus: Northern Colorado wind does knock power out now and then, and the battery switches over on its own. We size for your goals and back the install with a 10-year workmanship warranty.

When Wellington loses power
Big wind events do reach the plains here. In April 2024, high winds cut power to thousands across Northern Colorado, as the Coloradoan reported. Most Wellington outages are shorter than that kind of event, which is why backup is a secondary benefit here.
What's different about battery backup in Wellington
- Much of the area, including Bellvue, is Poudre Valley REA territory. We confirm your utility on the PVREA service territory map.
- Whether evening use saves anything depends on your rate. Time-of-use value only applies if your chosen tariff has it.
- Choose the circuits you want backed up and the runtime you need; we size for your priorities rather than assuming a short outage.
Your utility and programs
Many Wellington and Bellvue homes are served by Poudre Valley REA, but we confirm your utility by address. We check which rates and battery programs apply to you before talking about any evening savings, and we handle the interconnection paperwork.
Wellington battery backup FAQs
Can you add a battery to my existing solar in Wellington?
Usually, yes. For a Wellington battery add-on, we check the inverter, your panel and ownership, then confirm the utility for your address. If your system is leased, we'll review your lease terms.
Will a battery cover my Wellington home during a wind outage?
Yes, for the circuits it's sized for. It switches over automatically when the grid drops. How long it lasts depends on what you run, so we give estimates for your load list.
Does a battery save money on evenings in Wellington?
Only if your rate rewards it. If your chosen tariff has time-of-use pricing, shifting stored solar to the evening can help. If it doesn't, the battery's value is mostly backup and self-use. We check your rate before making any claims.
Which batteries do you install in Wellington, and how do you size them?
We're certified on Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin (FranklinWH) and EG4. Sizing follows your solar output, evening use and the circuits you'd want during an outage. Workmanship carries a 10-year warranty.
