Major Solar Battery Backup Systems Challenges We Handle

We've sized backup systems for every kind of outage scenario. Here are the situations our clients call us about most often.

🔌

Existing Solar Panels Provide No Power During an Outage

Standard grid-tied solar panels shut off automatically during a power outage for safety reasons, even though the sun is still shining. Homeowners often don't realize this until they lose power despite having solar installed. We add battery storage that allows panels to keep working during an outage.

⚡

Frequent Power Outages Affecting the Household

Repeated grid outages disrupt daily life and can spoil food, interrupt work, and create genuine safety concerns for vulnerable household members. Relying solely on grid power leaves no fallback during these events. We size a battery system to cover essential loads through typical outage durations.

🔋

Not Sure How Much Battery Capacity Is Needed

Choosing a battery too small leaves critical circuits without power during an extended outage, while an oversized system wastes budget on capacity that goes unused. Getting this number right requires understanding actual household load. We calculate battery size based on documented usage and desired backup duration.

❄️

Worried About Losing Power During Winter Storms

Ice storms and heavy winter weather are common causes of extended multi-day outages in parts of Ontario. A household without backup power faces real risk during these extended events, particularly with heating systems involved. We design battery systems with realistic winter outage duration in mind.

🔄

Unsure How the System Switches to Battery Power

Homeowners considering battery backup often don't understand how the transition from grid to battery power actually works during an outage. This uncertainty makes it hard to know what to expect. We explain the automatic transfer switch process clearly before installation, and it operates automatically once installed.

🔋

Wants Battery Backup Without Adding New Solar Panels

Some homeowners want outage protection without a full solar array, using the battery purely as backup charged from the grid. This is a valid standalone option that doesn't require solar to function. We install battery-only systems for households prioritizing backup over solar generation.

📋

Concerned About Rebate Eligibility and Paperwork

Provincial rebate programs for battery storage involve specific eligibility requirements and pre-approval steps that are easy to miss without guidance. Missing a step can mean losing out on meaningful savings. We confirm current rebate eligibility and handle the application process as part of the project.

🔧

Existing Panel Needs Upgrading to Support a Battery

Adding a battery and transfer switch to an older or fully loaded panel sometimes requires an upgrade to accommodate the new equipment. Skipping this assessment leads to a mid-project surprise once installation is underway. We confirm panel compatibility before finalizing any battery installation.

💰

Wants to Reduce Electricity Costs, Not Just Backup Power

A battery system can do more than provide outage protection by shifting energy use to take advantage of time-of-use rate savings throughout the year. Homeowners unaware of this benefit often undervalue the investment. We explain rate arbitrage potential alongside backup capability during every consultation.

What Our Customers Say

Theodore N.

Kept the fridge and lights running through a two-day outage

We had a bad ice storm knock out power for almost two days and our new battery kept the essentials running the entire time. Electrical Services Ontario sized it right and it performed exactly as promised.

Blair E.

Added battery to our existing solar setup

We already had solar panels but no backup capability and they integrated a battery into the existing system without any issues. Now we actually get value from our panels during an outage instead of losing power like everyone else.

Winnifred C.

Great system, install took an extra day

Our panel needed a small upgrade to accommodate the transfer switch which added a day to the project. Once finished everything works exactly as explained during the quote.

Elias P.

Automatic switchover is seamless

Electrical Services Ontario explained how the transfer switch would work but seeing it happen automatically during our first outage still impressed me. Lights barely flickered.

Saoirse D.

Honest sizing recommendation

I initially wanted a smaller battery but the technician explained why it wouldn't cover our actual usage and recommended the right size instead of just selling what I asked for. Correct call in hindsight.

Ambrose T.

Helped us navigate the rebate paperwork

Electrical Services Ontario handled the rebate application details we would have otherwise struggled through ourselves. Saved us real money without extra effort on our end.

How It Works

Your Electrical Work Done in 4 Simple Steps

Licensed electrician working on a residential service panel

Call or Request a Quote

Tell us what is happening — no power, a breaker that will not reset, or a planned upgrade. We talk it through and book a time that works for you, including same-day for urgent calls.

On-Site Assessment

A licensed electrician looks at the actual panel, circuit, and load rather than quoting over the phone, then gives you a firm written price with the scope set out line by line.

Licensed Installation or Repair

The electrician who quoted the job does the work. Drop sheets go down, permits are filed where the work calls for it, and you get an update before anything changes from the plan.

Tested, Inspected, Guaranteed

Every circuit is tested before we close the panel, the inspection is booked and the certificate handed over, and our labour is warrantied for two years.

Licensed, Insured, and Local

Electrical Work Done to Code the First Time

Panel upgrades, rewiring, EV chargers, generators, and emergency repairs, all handled by licensed electricians who find the real fault and leave the work inspected.
