Battery Backup
Looking for a reliable way to keep the lights on during a power outage? A solar battery backup system lets you store excess solar energy and use it when you need it most—day or night, rain or shine. Ecotech Solar offers the best solar battery backup systems for home use, including trusted options from Tesla, Enphase, and FranklinWH.
Why Add a Solar System Battery Backup?
A solar system battery backup gives you more than just peace of mind—it gives you energy independence. While standard solar panels shut down during outages, adding a battery means your home stays powered even when the grid goes down.
Benefits of a Solar Battery Backup System:
- ^Power your home during grid outages
- ^Use more of your own solar energy
- ^Lower electric bills with time-of-use savings
- ^Reduce reliance on the utility
- ^Quiet, clean, and fully automatic
- ^Seamless integration with new or existing solar systems
Battery backup vs. a Generator

- Silent – no engine noice
- Fume Free – safe for indoor use, no emissions
- Automatic – kicks in instantly when the power goes out
- Low maintenance – no fuel refills or engine upkeep
- Smart – manage energy use with a mobile app
