Why Homeowners Are Installing Battery Backup in 2025

Home battery systems do more than just provide backup—they give you total energy control.

  • Stay powered during blackouts caused by wildfires, winter storms, and grid failures

  • Use your solar energy at night instead of sending it back to the utility

  • Lower electric bills by avoiding peak-time charges

  • Gain energy independence from rising utility rates and unreliable infrastructure

  • Charge your EV from stored solar power

With the 30% tax credit expiring at the end of 2025, there’s never been a better time to install.

Our Trusted PRocess

From Quote to Installation—We Keep It Simple and Transparent

  • Every project starts with a personalized consultation. We'll meet with you (virtually or in person) to understand your home’s energy needs, review your past utility usage, and discuss your goals—whether it’s full energy independence, backup for critical loads, or just peace of mind during outages.

    We'll also assess:

    • Your existing solar setup (if applicable)

    • Electrical panel capacity and load balance

    • Roof space or location for the battery system

    • Your utility provider’s interconnection requirements

    At the end of this step, you’ll have a clear recommendation and estimate for your battery solution, with options for system sizes and pricing.

  • Once we’ve confirmed your ideal setup, our in-house team designs your battery system to meet both performance needs and building code requirements.

    This includes:

    • Precise battery sizing based on usage + backup goals

    • Load management planning (essential circuits vs. whole-home)

    • Selecting compatible inverters and control systems

    • Submitting permit applications to your local building department

    • Preparing interconnection documentation for your utility (Xcel, etc.)

    We handle every detail—including the paperwork—so you don’t have to.

  • Our licensed electricians and solar techs will arrive on install day with everything ready to go.

    Here’s what happens:

    • Safe, code-compliant battery installation (wall- or floor-mounted)

    • Wiring to your main electrical panel or solar inverter

    • Load subpanel setup if partial backup is needed

    • System testing, commissioning, and inspection scheduling

    Most installations take 1–2 days, and we keep your downtime to a minimum. We treat your home with care and leave everything clean and organized when we’re done.

  • App Setup, Monitoring & Support

    Once your system is live, we’ll walk you through the app and monitoring dashboard so you can:

    • Track energy production and battery status in real time

    • See how much you’re saving

    • Monitor performance during grid outages

    We’ll also:

    • Provide a full system walkthrough and user guide

    • Register your warranties and submit rebate paperwork (if applicable)

    • Be available for ongoing support, questions, and system upgrades

    With Cascade, your system doesn’t just get installed—it gets backed by a team that’s here for the long run.

 FAQs

  • No! You can install a battery system without solar and still qualify for the 30% federal tax credit through 2025. We’ll design a solution that works whether you're storing solar energy or just want backup power for outages.

  • If the grid goes down, your battery automatically kicks in—seamlessly powering your home. Depending on your setup, it can back up your entire home or just your most essential circuits like lights, fridge, internet, and medical devices.

  • Most systems provide 8–16 hours of backup, depending on battery size and what you’re powering. With solar panels, your battery can recharge daily, extending coverage through multi-day outages.

  • Most batteries are warrantied for 10 years or 6,000+ cycles. With proper installation and usage, you can expect 10–15 years of reliable service before any major performance drop.

  • Tesla Powerwall is one of the most popular home batteries due to its sleek design, strong app experience, and reliable performance. That said, other systems like Enphase IQ, FranklinWH, and SolarEdge Energy Bank offer great features too. We'll help you choose the right fit.

  • Pricing varies based on your energy needs, battery size, and whether it’s paired with solar. Most homeowners spend between $12,000–$20,000 before incentives. The 30% tax credit and local rebates can lower your out-of-pocket costs significantly.

  • Yes! We can retrofit batteries to most existing solar systems—especially if you're using Enphase, SolarEdge, or Tesla equipment. We’ll assess compatibility and provide a custom plan that makes the most of your current setup.

  • Yes, but don’t worry—we take care of all permitting, utility interconnection, and inspections. Our team ensures everything meets local codes and requirements.
