WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN THE GRID GOES DOWN?

Whether producing solar energy or still relying on “the grid,” your electricity connection is never guaranteed. Issues like blackouts, severe weather, or unseasonably cloudy days can cut you off from electricity and severely impact solar energy production. Especially in Florida, where the weather can often take a turn for the worse, ensuring you stay connected to electricity is crucial to a happy, comfortable and safe living environment. Thankfully, with help from West Bay Energy, you can easily equip your home or business with effective, reliable and long-lasting backup power systems.

ARE BACKUP BATTERIES NECESSARY?

Backup batteries are essential for energy storage  when other energy sources are lacking. Additionally, with the right backup power systems, you can help your home or business better manage power and save on energy costs in the long term. Some of the best benefits of installing home batteries include:

  • Protection Against Blackouts – The biggest pro of having a backup battery is the protection they provide against blackouts. Whether due to a downed power line or bad weather, your backup power system will kick into action to continue powering your home.
  • Keep Crucial Systems Running – From a home’s AC to the lifesaving technology in a hospital, these critical systems all require electricity. And when power fails, you can count on backup power systems to keep your crucial systems running.
  • Protect Delicate Electronics (and More) – A power surge or total blackout can be more damaging to your electronics than you might realize. Additionally, if systems like your freezers or refrigeration break or shut down, you risk wasting hundreds of dollars in perishable goods. Having backup power helps you avoid these problems entirely.
  • Manage Power Consumption – An investment in battery systems can help your home or business better manage power consumption. The extra energy you store in your batteries can be used during peak hours when energy usage is at its highest, reducing your reliance on the grid and saving money on monthly utility costs.

OUR BACKUP POWER SYSTEMS

 

OUR BACKUP POWER SYSTEMS

West Bay Energy works with companies like Generac and Tesla to bring Florida residents the latest backup power solutions! We are certified installers for Generac generators and Tesla’s Powerwall, and can seamlessly integrate these advanced energy systems into any home or business’s solar panel system. Learn more about the batteries and generators we install, and discover which is best for your property!

 

Tesla’s Powerwall

Powerwall is a home battery that stores solar energy so you can use it day or night and self-power your home. Solar panels typically generate more clean energy than your house can immediately use. Powerwall stores that excess solar to make it available on demand, maximizing your use of solar and reducing your reliance on the grid. Through the Tesla mobile app, you gain full visibility and control over your self-powered home. The Powerwall’s best features include:

  • Compact & Simple – Powerwall is a completely automated system that’s quick and easy to install, with no maintenance required.
  • Safe – Powerwall is safe to install anywhere alongside your home’s or business’s exterior, thanks to liquid thermal controls and touch-safe technology.
  • Wireless Monitoring – You can see how much energy you store and seamlessly monitor your Powerwall’s charge and energy usage through the Tesla App.

EV CHARGING STATIONS

Electric vehicles are the future! And with a solar system, why not use the excess energy you produce for charging your EV? Unfortunately, EV charging stations aren’t readily available everywhere, and sitting at a station while you charge your car can be inconvenient. For this reason, home EV stations are growing in popularity. In fact, 95% of all EV charging happens at home. With help from West Bay Energy, we can seamlessly integrate Tesla and ClipperCreek EV stations into your home’s existing solar or electrical systems.

FINANCING AVAILABLE THROUGH WEST BAY SOLAR!

Unlike other local contractors and solar companies, who make you pay for every extra fee and feature of your new solar system, you can get a system from West Bay Energy for $0 down! Not only that, but West Bay Energy offers financing options for those unsure of solar panel installation costs. Our goal has always been to make solar energy production more accessible and affordable for Florida and Texas residents!
