Standby Solar Package: Small Solar, Big Security
The Standby Solar Package is a streamlined solar solution designed for one critical job: keeping your battery bank fully charged during power outages. While a full solar array offsets your electric bills year-round, Standby Solar Package ensures that when the lights go out, your backup power stays ready for as long as you need it.
How Standby Solar Works
A targeted small array of solar panels connects directly to your battery system, continuously replenishing the power you're using during an outage. Instead of watching your battery percentage drop, you maintain full capacity—running your essentials indefinitely.
Standby Solar Is Ideal For:
Properties in areas with frequent or extended power disruptions
Homeowners who want seamless, automatic electrical independence during outages
An accessible, affordable option for households that want renewable options and energy resilience — without the mess, noise, and fumes of a generator
