Backup Batteries
Keep your fridge, lights, and Wi-Fi on when the grid goes down. We design and install solar backup batteries that power your home's key circuits through an outage.
A solar battery backup keeps the most important parts of your home running when the grid goes down. It stores the energy your solar panels make. When an outage hits, the battery takes over in moments and feeds your key circuits. Nature's Nergy designs and installs these systems for homeowners who want steady power without the noise or fuel of a generator.
What Does a Solar Battery Backup Power in Your Home?
Most homes do not need every outlet running during an outage. They need the essentials. A backup battery covers the circuits you pick, such as the refrigerator, lights, Wi-Fi and internet gear, phone chargers, and medical devices.
This focused approach is called essential loads backup, or partial home backup. It puts your stored solar energy where it matters most, so the food stays cold and the lights stay on until the grid comes back.
How Does Essential Loads Backup Work?
Our team installs a battery and connects it to a small panel that holds your chosen circuits. This is often called a critical loads panel. Your solar panels charge the battery during the day.
When the grid fails, the system senses the outage and switches your key circuits over to battery power on its own. You do not flip a switch or start anything. When power returns, the system shifts back and the battery recharges from your panels.
How Do You Choose Which Circuits to Back Up?
We start with a walkthrough of your home. You tell us what you cannot live without during an outage. Most families pick the refrigerator, a few lighting circuits, the internet router, and a handful of key outlets.
Then we match battery capacity to that list. A bigger list needs more storage. A shorter list stretches run time. Our goal is a system that fits your real life, not a one-size-fits-all package.
Partial Backup or a Whole Home Battery?
Partial backup is the right fit for many families. It costs less than backing up the entire house, and it keeps your must-have circuits alive through an outage.
Want every room, the HVAC, and the big appliances covered too? That calls for more storage. See our whole home battery systems page to compare the two paths. We will help you weigh both options during your free solar quote.
Why Add Battery Backup to Your Solar Panels?
Storms and grid problems can knock out power in any season. Standard grid-tied solar panels shut down during an outage for safety. A battery changes that. It lets your key circuits keep drawing on your stored solar energy.
Every install is backed by our 25 year labor and parts warranty, so your system stays protected long after the crew leaves. Our background-checked technicians handle the full job, from the first site visit to the final test.

How long will a solar battery run my home during an outage?
Run time depends on the battery's size and what you power. A system backing up only key circuits, like the fridge, lights, and Wi-Fi, lasts much longer than one running the whole house. When the sun comes up, your panels recharge the battery. We size your system around the loads you care about most.
Does a backup battery charge from solar panels?
Yes. During the day, your solar panels send power to your home first. Extra energy charges the battery. At night or during an outage, the battery feeds your key circuits with that stored solar power. If clouds cut solar production during a long outage, the battery still delivers whatever charge it holds.
How long does backup battery installation take?
Install time depends on your electrical panel, the number of circuits you want covered, and permit steps in your area. Simple essential loads setups go faster than whole home projects. We look at your panel and wiring first. Then we give you a clear plan and timeline along with your free solar quote.
What drives the cost of a solar battery backup system?
Three things move the price most: battery capacity, how many circuits you back up, and how complex the installation is. A small essential loads setup costs less than a large system. Panel upgrades or long wiring runs add work. We review your home and give you an exact price in a free solar quote.
Are the installers who work in my home background checked?
Yes. Every Nature's Nergy technician passes a background check before working in a customer's home. We are a family owned company, and we treat your house with the same care we would want in ours. You will know who is doing the work and what they are doing at each step.
