Solar Battery Installation for Palm Beach Gardens Homes

A solar battery charges from your panels and takes over when the grid fails, without the fuel, the upkeep or the noise a generator brings with it.

It hangs on a garage or outside wall next to a gateway, the box that moves the house onto the battery when utility power drops and back again when it returns. Here is how it compares with a generator:

  • No fuel

    It refills from your own panels, not from a gas can you have to keep topped up before a storm.

  • No engine

    There is no engine to start, run or service, none of a generator's upkeep.

  • No noise

    It works quietly on the wall, day or night, with nothing running in the yard.

Battery Backup Sized to Your Home

We size your battery from the power your household actually uses, then decide with you which circuits it backs up, anywhere from a few essentials to the whole home.

Recent power bills help: they show how much you use and when, which is what the size is built on.

One end

Essential circuits

The circuits you can't go without in an outage, such as the refrigerator, some lights and the outlets you charge phones from.

The other end

The whole home

Everything on the panel, which takes more stored power and often a smart panel to manage the big loads.

Solar Battery Installation Steps

A battery installation runs in four steps, from sizing through gateway wiring and utility coordination to commissioning the battery and your solar together. The steps of a battery installation are listed below in order.

  1. Sizing

    We read your usage, agree which circuits the battery carries and settle on a capacity that covers them.

  2. Gateway wiring

    The gateway is wired in between the utility, your panels and the house wiring, so the battery can carry the home when the grid drops.

  3. Utility coordination

    We coordinate with the utility, the "interconnection" side of the job, so the system is approved to run alongside the grid.

  4. Commissioning

    We commission the battery and the solar together, which sets storm charging and backup priorities correctly from the start.

We quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.

Battery Storage, Smart Panel and Monitoring

A battery system pairs the battery with a gateway, and a smart panel manages your household loads alongside it. The main parts are listed below.

  • The battery

    Stores what your panels make for use through an outage.

  • The gateway

    Ties the battery, the panels, the grid and the house wiring together, and moves the house onto the battery when the grid fails.

  • A smart panel

    Also called a smart breaker box, it holds the big loads back during an outage so they don't drain the battery first.

Across the trade, the home battery brands you will see named most often include Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ Battery, LG Chem and Franklin.

Solar Battery Installation Cost

A solar battery's price depends on its capacity, the circuits it backs up and the wiring your home needs, and we quote it once we have sized the system.

Locally, a typical home battery storage installation runs $9,823 to $13,289, or about $878 per kWh of storage. A firm figure comes after a site survey, because the electrical service, the equipment and the permitting all move it.

One change to budget for: the federal credit no longer applies to a battery placed in service after December 31, 2025, as the IRS, Residential Clean Energy Credit page sets out.

Storms, bills, lifespan and where we work

Quick answers before you call

Backup Power Through Storm Outages

A battery system can pre-charge before a forecast storm, so it starts the outage full and keeps your essential circuits running through it. For the rest of getting the house ready, see Ready.gov, Hurricanes.

Time-of-Use Savings

Yes, a battery can lower "time-of-use" charges by running the house from storage through the peak-rate hours instead of buying from the grid at the higher rate.

Battery Life and Maintenance

With regular maintenance a solar battery should last at least ten years, and only a technician can do that maintenance safely. Battery fluid is hazardous, and battery trouble often comes from dirty or loose connections, corrosion or flooded batteries, so call us rather than opening the cabinet.

Battery questions we hear most

Short answers to what neighbors ask about cost, doing it yourself and how a battery ties into the house.

How much does it cost to install a solar battery?

Locally, a typical home battery storage installation runs $9,823 to $13,289. Where yours lands depends on the capacity, the circuits it backs up and the wiring the house needs, and we quote it after sizing. For the panels and the battery together, see our guide to solar panel cost.

How much does it cost to add a battery to my solar system?

The same things set the price when the panels are already on the roof: the battery's capacity, the circuits it covers and the gateway wiring. A firm quote comes after a site survey of the electrical service, the equipment and the permitting, and our guide to solar panel cost covers the rest.

Can you install your own solar battery?

We don't recommend it. A battery installation means gateway wiring and coordination with the utility, and battery fluid is hazardous, so working on a battery is a technician's job rather than a homeowner's.

How do I connect a solar battery to my house?

Through a gateway wired between the battery, your panels, the grid and your electrical panel, with a smart panel where you want loads managed. We do the wiring, coordinate with the utility and commission the battery and solar together.
