How storage fits
Home battery installation—with or without new solar
Sunburst installs standalone home batteries and adds battery storage to existing solar systems, including systems installed by another company. You can request battery storage on its own or include it in a new solar proposal.
- Review current utility rate structures
- Identify selected essential loads
- Confirm compatible storage options
- Confirm equipment and backup scope in your proposal
How Battery Storage Works
See how solar, batteries, your home, and the grid work together. Backup coverage depends on the equipment and connected loads.

Choosing a Home Battery Storage System
We'll help you compare battery capacity, backup needs, and equipment that works with your home.
Start with what you want to keep running
Tell us which household loads matter most during an outage, such as refrigeration, lighting, or a home office. We'll help you compare battery capacity for those needs. Backup coverage and runtime depend on the equipment, connected loads, and battery charge.
Power and Energy Capacity
Power capacity affects what you can run at once. Energy capacity affects how much stored electricity is available.
Choose from established battery options
Available options include Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Battery 5P, Franklin aPower S, and SolarEdge battery systems. We'll review your home's electrical setup, existing solar equipment, and backup priorities to recommend a suitable configuration.
Battery Backup, Solar Self-Consumption, and Rate Planning
Battery Backup
Tell us what you want to keep running during an outage. We’ll recommend a battery configuration and explain its expected backup coverage and runtime.
Solar Self-Consumption
Store solar energy for use later, with equipment that works with your solar system.
Utility-Rate Planning
Review whether shifting energy use may fit the current utility rate structure. Savings and rate outcomes are not guaranteed.
Battery Cost and Financing Factors
Battery cost can vary with usable capacity, power requirements, selected loads, electrical work, installation location, equipment compatibility, and whether storage is added to existing or new solar. Review solar cost and savings factors and compare solar financing options; availability, qualification, payment terms, and savings are not guaranteed.
Home Battery Questions
Answers about installation, compatibility, and backup performance.
Can I install a battery without buying solar panels?
Yes. Sunburst offers standalone home battery installation. You do not need to purchase a new solar system to request a battery quote.
Can you add a battery to solar installed by another company?
Yes. We accept battery additions to existing solar systems, including systems installed by other companies. We review the existing equipment and electrical setup to select a compatible configuration.
Which battery brands do you offer?
Current options include Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Battery 5P, Franklin aPower S, and SolarEdge battery systems. Your proposal identifies the equipment recommended for your home.
Can a battery power my whole home?
It depends on what you want to run and the battery system's capacity. We'll check your household loads and electrical setup, then explain whether the recommended system can support the whole home or selected circuits. Whole-home backup is not guaranteed.
How many batteries might I need?
The number depends on what you want to power, how long you want backup, and each battery's power and energy capacity. We'll compare those needs with your home's electrical setup and the manufacturer's compatibility requirements.
What happens during a grid outage?
A battery system set up for backup can disconnect from the grid and supply the connected circuits. What stays on, and for how long, depends on the equipment, connected loads, and battery charge. Solar recharging during an outage requires compatible equipment and available sunlight; it is not guaranteed.
