All batteries are not created equal. For instance, battery systems like the Tesla do not recharge until the grid comes back on. This is unacceptable for crisis situations. Some batteries, like the LG, run hot, which is not ideal in the Southwest. The two battery systems we recommend are
SunPower and Enphase
Sunpower Advantages:- Runs Cooler
- Backs up 30 amp Breakers (well pumps) without adding a second battery
- Continuous charging without the grid having to come back on
Enphase Advantages:- Most scalable battery. From large whole home, multiple battery systems, down to 'Sunlight Only', which is a lot less money than most batteries (no need to charge. Works when the sun is out, only. No battery, just advanced inverter design)
- Continuous charging without the grid having to come back on
