Portland: keep your power on when the grid goes down

A battery for your Portland home

When the grid goes down in Portland, a battery backup system picks up the load on its own and keeps the circuits you chose running. Installed inside the garage or outdoors, it waits quietly until the grid fails. Our crew of licensed electricians connects it to your panel and files the permit for you.

What most Portland homeowners keep running

• Comfort: lights, security, and select heating or cooling.
• Medical devices: CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, and anything that cannot lose power.
• Refrigeration: the refrigerator and freezer, so food is not lost.
• Work from home: internet and computers keep going.

We decide the protected circuits together, based on the battery size and your panel, at the free consultation.

Three battery brands, one install team

Both Enphase, Sigenergy, and FranklinWH batteries are available to Portland homeowners, and we compare them with you at the free quote.

Enphase

Enphase batteries are built from lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells and scale in modules, which makes the system easy to grow. You monitor it in the Enphase app, and it fits well with an existing Enphase solar system.

Sigenergy and FranklinWH

Already have solar in Portland? Sigenergy and FranklinWH batteries can be added to an existing system without replacing it. In a long outage, both can be topped up from a 240 volt portable generator.

Need power for days rather than hours? Look at a whole-house generator too.

With solar or without

If you live in Portland, a battery does not depend on solar. It charges 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.

What the install looks like

A Portland battery project moves through four steps: a design visit, the permit, the install, and activation with support.

1. Consultation and design: we look at your goals, your panel, and any solar, then design the system.
2. Permitting and paperwork: we file the permit and any incentive paperwork, and we check every incentive that may apply.
3. Installation: licensed electricians on our own team mount and wire the battery.
4. Activation and support: we turn it on, show you the app, and stay reachable after the job.

Oregon requires a permit for this work, and we pull it for you.
