Solar Battery Backup Systems for Home with PPM Solar
A well-designed PV array of solar panels and a solar battery backup system is the ultimate goal of becoming energy independent.
The combination of generating electricity and having a battery backup power supply for home storing power for emergencies and other needs is gaining popularity across the country.
PPM Solar understands the importance of energy independence by knowing that you want the most advanced solar panel and solar battery storage system. Adding an optional solar battery for home can bring reassurance knowing electrical power is readily available, even when the utility grid fails.
With many years of exceptional service, PPM Solar can install solar panel backup batteries from Tesla Powerwall systems or Enphase. You can feel confident of our care for installing your solar storage battery for home or business.

How do solar storage systems work?
Whenever sunlight strikes the collection surface of a solar PV cell, electricity begins to flow from the cell and into the broader solar PV array.
In grid-tied connections, the home or business consumes the energy, and any unused energy flows to the utility grid for distribution.
Grid-tied utility connections are available for solar panels in Gainesville, solar panels in Orlando, and most cities throughout Florida.
By adding a solar home battery backup system, you can have electricity available from your batteries for use at night or during a power outage. Other benefits include system load balancing for use during grid high-rate periods.
Do you really need one?
Solar energy storage systems are not required when installing a grid-tied solar PV array. However, when the grid fails, the PV system will shut off too. But by adding a solar battery bank for home, your solar PV system will continue to operate.
Why do solar panels and solar batteries make a great pair?
Imagine a perpetual delivery of electric power even during a grid-tied power outage without the use of fuel-powered generators. Battery storage for home offers peace of mind without having to waste time on generator maintenance and refueling.
Add batteries to your solar PV array and relax. Your essential appliances, computers, and devices are still available during grid-tied outages because you now have the sun's power under control.
Solar battery systems provide:
Care-free emergency backup power.
Use of electricity at night while panels are sleeping.
Quiet backup power - unlike fuel generators.
Load shifting during peak utility rates.
Increased self-reliance on clean energy.
A solar system for business and battery backup can ensure less office disruption of computer equipment due to outages.
Solar battery installation process
In most cases, PPM solar panels installation and residential storage batteries installation can happen within just one or two days, once permits are approved.

Questions and answers
How much storage capacity do you need for a backup battery?
The rule of thumb is to multiply the Amp Hour (Ah) rating by your desired voltage system.
What appliances can run off the battery during a power outage?
It is best to devise an energy plan that accounts for the operation of critical business or home appliances and communication devices. Additional zones can be optional.
Will solar panels charge the battery when the grid system is down?
When the grid fails, your solar panels will continue to recharge the batteries for home power. But it is important to note that the amount of electric load used during an outage could affect the available energy storage. In other words, be conservative with using electricity when experiencing a grid outage.
How to choose a good solar battery for power supply?
PPM Solar has evaluated battery storage for homes for over a decade and has narrowed down the two manufacturing companies we prefer and recommend - Tesla Powerwall and Enphase.
Can solar batteries save you money?
Solar battery storage system cost can sometimes double the expense of an entire PV array with batteries installed. Therefore, the calculated ROI for a full house solar power system is longer. However, batteries balance out high energy costs for high-rate tier utility customers in some instances.
