Solar Batteries & Energy Storage
Battery storage from Sol-Ark, HomeGrid and more, installed with new or existing solar by licensed electricians.
Store Your Sunshine for When You Need It
Solar panels make power while the sun shines. A battery lets you keep that power for later, whether that means running your home after sunset or keeping the lights, fridge and furnace fan on when the grid goes down. Sunlight Electric installs solar battery storage for homes and businesses across Idaho Falls and eastern Idaho, as part of a new solar system or added to one you already have.
Backup Power During Outages
Most grid-tied solar systems shut off during a power outage for safety. With a properly designed battery system, your essential circuits can keep running automatically and quietly, with no fuel to store. We help you decide which loads matter most, such as a well pump, refrigerator, internet or medical equipment, and size the system to match.
Battery Systems We Install
We work with a wide range of battery and inverter manufacturers, including Sol-Ark, Enphase, EG4, SolarEdge and Tesla, among others. Whether you're planning a new system or have questions about the one you already have, reach out and we'll help you find the right fit.
Adding a Battery to Existing Solar
Already have panels? Many systems can be upgraded with storage. We'll review your inverter, panel and wiring and recommend the cleanest way to add a battery, even if another company installed your original system. See our service for orphaned solar systems
Energy Management
Storage works best as part of a well-planned system. We also install energy management systems that help you see and control how power flows between your panels, battery, home and the grid.
Battery or Generator?
For long outages or large loads, a standby generator may be the better choice, and some customers use both. As an authorized Generac dealer and service provider, we can compare the options honestly. Learn about Generac generator installation

faq
Can I add a battery to my existing solar system?
Often, yes. It depends on your current inverter and equipment. We'll review your system and explain the options for adding storage.
Will a battery power my whole home?
That depends on the size of the battery bank and what you want to back up. Many customers choose to back up essential circuits; we help you decide what makes sense.
Battery or generator: which is better?
Both provide backup power in different ways. Batteries store solar energy quietly, while a Generac standby generator runs on fuel for longer outages. We install both and can help you compare.
