Solar Generator For Home

Solar backup power systems for Florida homes. Battery storage, portable generators, and permanent installations. Free estimates.

Hurricanes and summer thunderstorms can leave your home without power for days. When the grid goes down, a solar generator with battery storage keeps your fridge running, your AC on, and your phone charged. We size and install both portable systems for occasional use and permanent setups with battery banks that handle your real power needs, not theoretical ones. Licensed, insured, and serving Central Florida for over two decades, we back our work with honest service and free estimates.

Portable versus permanent systems

A portable solar generator works well if you want flexibility and lower upfront cost. A permanent system with batteries handles more circuits, charges from your rooftop panels, and keeps running day and night. We assess your home's essential loads—what you actually need during an outage—and recommend the system that matches your budget and your risk. Most homeowners find that permanent systems with 5 to 10 kilowatt-hours of storage cover what matters most.

What the installation covers

From first visit to final inspection, we handle the electrical work, mounting, battery installation, and integration with your existing solar panels if you have them. We also discuss how the system charges, when to use it, and what regular maintenance looks like. Once the system is running, it runs. No monthly fees, no remote monitoring you have to pay for.

Solar Generator For Home: common questions

How long does a solar generator run during a power outage?

It depends on how much battery storage you have and how much power you're using. A small portable unit might run a refrigerator for a few hours. A permanent 10-kilowatt-hour system with solar panels can keep essential circuits running for days if the sun is out. We size the system based on what you actually need to run.

Can I add a solar generator to my existing solar panels?

Yes. If you already have rooftop panels, we can add a battery bank and the electrical equipment to store power and use it at night or during an outage. The cost is less than a whole new system, and the battery charges automatically from your panels.

Do I need a permit to install a backup power system?

Permanent systems with batteries require a permit and final electrical inspection. Portable generators usually do not. We handle all permits and inspections for permanent installations.

What happens to the battery over time?

Batteries gradually hold less charge as they age, just like a phone battery. Warranty and expected lifespan come up during the estimate conversation. What matters is that the system you buy matches your actual use.
