This Big Lake homeowner wanted real backup power - not just peace of mind on paper. We installed two Franklin home batteries, giving them a serious energy storage setup that works whether the grid goes down or the solar panels are pumping out more power than they can use in the moment.
Franklin batteries are not entry-level equipment. They're built for homes that need dependable, high-capacity storage. Two units side by side means this homeowner has enough reserve power to keep the essentials running through an outage without scrambling for a gas generator or burning through a single small battery in a few hours.
The electrical side of this job required proper disconnect hardware and conduit runs tied into the existing solar setup. That's not something you cut corners on. Every connection point matters when you're dealing with stored energy at this scale, and we made sure everything was done clean and up to code.
A setup like this does double duty. During normal operation, excess solar energy gets stored instead of pushed back to the grid for next to nothing. When the power goes out, the system kicks in automatically. No flip of a switch. No waiting. Just power.
If you're in the Big Lake area and you've been thinking about adding battery storage to your home - whether you already have solar or you're starting from scratch - this is exactly the kind of work we do every day.
