FAQ
Questions Long Island customers ask.
Can a battery really back up my whole home?
With sufficient capacity and the right panel setup, yes. We size the system to your full load and runtime goals, or prioritize circuits to fit budget.
Battery, solar, or generator?
Often a combination. Battery and solar are quiet and fuel-free for most outages; a generator can extend multi-day events. We engineer the right mix.
Does backup switch on automatically?
Yes — properly installed whole-home backup detects an outage and engages automatically, usually within a second.
