Lake Oswego: keep your power on when the grid goes down

Why a battery makes sense in Lake Oswego

When the grid goes down in Lake Oswego, a battery backup system picks up the load on its own and keeps the circuits you chose running. The battery mounts in your garage or on an outside wall and stores energy until you need it. Our crew of licensed electricians connects it to your panel and files the permit for you.

Typical loads to keep powered

• Medical devices: CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, and anything that cannot lose power.
• Kitchen: the refrigerator and freezer stay cold.
• Home office: internet, computers, and phone chargers.
• Lighting and security: lights, alarms, and select heating or cooling.

Battery size and panel layout set what can stay powered. We sort that out at the free consultation.

Enphase, Sigenergy, and FranklinWH options

We are not tied to one brand in Lake Oswego: we install Enphase, Sigenergy, and FranklinWH batteries and recommend the one that fits your house.

Enphase

Enphase batteries use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry and are modular, so you can start with the capacity you need and add more later. It works with Enphase microinverters, and you can watch it all in the Enphase app.

Sigenergy and FranklinWH

Sigenergy and FranklinWH are built for whole-home backup and work with solar that is already on the roof. If the power is out for days in Lake Oswego, a 240 volt portable generator can feed either one.

Do you need solar for a battery?

Here in Lake Oswego, you do not need solar panels to get a battery. A battery can charge from the grid or from solar, and we set it up either way.

Paired with solar, the battery does double duty: it holds your daytime production for use after dark and during an outage.

Four steps, one team

Installing a battery in Lake Oswego takes four steps, from a free consultation through permit and install to activation.

1. Consultation and design: we review your panel, your solar if you have it, and your backup goals.
2. Permitting and paperwork: the permit and the paperwork are ours to file; we also look for incentives that apply.
3. Installation: in-house electricians do the wiring and mounting.
4. Activation and support: we power it up, check it, and support you after.

This work needs a permit, and getting it is our job.
