Take Control of Your Energy with Battery Backup
Battery backup residential systems have become increasingly popular in recent years, as more homeowners seek to reduce their reliance on the traditional power grid and protect themselves from power outages. These systems allow homeowners to store excess energy generated from their solar panels or other renewable energy sources, which can then be used during periods of high energy demand or when the grid is down.
Progressive Energy Solutions offers a range of residential battery backup options, including lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries, with capacities ranging from 3 kWh to 30 kWh or more. We serve homeowners throughout the Inland Empire with expert installation and ongoing maintenance services to ensure that your systems operate smoothly and efficiently.
By choosing Progressive Energy Solutions, homeowners can benefit from greater energy independence, lower energy bills, and increased resilience during power outages. According to Berkeley Lab, American households have experienced steadily increasing power blackout times. With California's aging power grid and increasing wildfire risks, battery backup isn't just convenient—it's essential. You can take an active role in reducing your carbon footprint and promoting a more sustainable energy future.

How Battery Backup Saves You Money & Protects Your Home
⚡ Blackout Protection
California's power grid faces increasing strain from wildfires and aging infrastructure. With battery backup, your essential appliances keep running during outages—no spoiled food, no hotel stays, no disruption to work or school. Your family stays comfortable and connected when neighbors lose power.
💰 Lower Energy Bills
Store excess solar energy during the day and use it during expensive peak hours (typically 4-9 PM). With Time-of-Use rates, electricity costs more in the evening—battery backup lets you avoid those premium rates, saving $100-200 per month on average.
🌍 Energy Independence
Reduce reliance on fossil fuels and the aging power grid. With solar panels and battery backup, you generate, store, and use your own clean energy. According to the EPA, electricity production from fossil fuels is the largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions. Battery backup helps you do your part for the environment.
🏠 Increased Home Value
Homes with battery backup systems sell faster and for more money. According to Zillow research, homes with solar systems sell for 4.1% more on average. Battery backup adds even more value—buyers love the security and savings these systems provide.
📈 Federal Tax Credits
The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) provides a 30% tax credit for battery systems installed with solar. If your battery costs $15,000, you get $4,500 back in tax credits! This incentive makes battery backup more affordable than ever.
🔇 Silent Operation
Unlike noisy, smelly gas generators that require fuel and maintenance, battery backup systems operate silently and require virtually no maintenance. No more running to the gas station during emergencies or dealing with generator fumes. Just clean, quiet, reliable backup power when you need it most.
Frequently Asked Questions About Battery Backup
What size battery backup system do I need for my home?
The size depends on several factors: your home's size, which appliances you want to power during outages, typical energy consumption, and how long you need backup power. A small system (10-13 kWh) powers essential circuits for 8-12 hours. Larger systems (20-30+ kWh) can power your entire home for 24+ hours. Our experts provide a free home assessment to recommend the right size. Most Inland Empire homes need 13-20 kWh of storage.
How much does a residential battery backup system cost?
Battery backup systems typically cost $10,000-$25,000 installed, depending on capacity and brand. Tesla Powerwall (13.5 kWh) costs around $12,000-15,000 installed. LG Chem and Enphase systems range from $11,000-18,000. With the 30% federal tax credit, net costs are $7,000-17,500. We offer $0 down financing to make battery backup affordable for every budget. Contact us for a detailed quote.
Can I add battery backup to my existing solar system?
Yes! Battery backup can be added to most existing solar panel systems. We retrofit batteries to systems from any manufacturer. Some inverters may need upgrading for optimal integration, but this is typically straightforward. If you already have solar, adding battery backup maximizes your energy independence and savings. We serve customers throughout Redlands, Yucaipa, and the entire Inland Empire.
How long do battery backup systems last?
Modern lithium-ion battery systems last 10-15 years with minimal capacity loss. Most manufacturers guarantee 70-80% capacity after 10 years. Tesla Powerwall, LG Chem, and Enphase batteries come with 10-year warranties. With proper maintenance (which is minimal), batteries often exceed warranty expectations. Battery technology continues improving—newer systems last even longer.
What appliances can I power with battery backup?
This depends on your battery size and configuration. Essential circuits (refrigerator, lights, WiFi, medical devices) need 2-5 kW. Most systems (13-20 kWh) power essentials plus: air conditioning, washer/dryer, electric stove, well pump, and EV charging. Larger systems (20-30+ kWh) can power your entire home. We design custom configurations based on your priorities—ensuring critical systems stay online during outages.
Do I need solar panels to have battery backup?
No, but we strongly recommend it! Battery backup works without solar—it charges from the grid and provides backup during outages. However, pairing with solar panels maximizes savings and energy independence. Solar generates free electricity to charge your battery daily, reducing grid dependence. The federal 30% tax credit only applies to batteries installed with solar. For best results, install both together.
