California’s homeowners have many factors to consider when choosing a renewable energy source. Those dependent completely on-grid electricity have seen their fair share of outages caused by natural disasters, such as wildfires and drought. With electricity suppliers doubling down on fire prevention, outages caused by precautionary measures have become more prevalent. Homeowners who rely on solar power for a majority of their energy supply reap its benefits. But wildfires can cause even homeowners who have gone solar to suffer outages. As a key component of Solar Optimum’s comprehensive energy system, The Tesla Powerwall Battery is the solution for green and consistent back-up energy for homeowners in wildfire areas.
Reliable Back-up With The Tesla Powerwall Battery
During natural disasters, the last issue homeowners need is to be without power. However, grid electricity suppliers have made access to electricity during emergencies inconsistent. Between contributing to the severity of wildfires and now enforcing preventative outages, grid electricity providers are failing to provide dependable energy. A solar power system combined with reliable home energy storage can allow a home to function comfortably during a grid electricity outage. Homeowners have the ability to run essential and nonessential electronics all with stored solar energy.
Balancing Energy Loads
When preparing for natural disasters, homeowners need to devise a plan for the worst. Reserving energy is now just as crucial as stocking up on food and water. Not only is a backup home solar battery a much greener option than gas-powered generators, but a household can switch seamlessly to back-up power uninterrupted. While the standard Tesla Powerwall battery can keep a household powered for over a day, reducing the use of nonessential electronics can further extend battery life. Keeping energy consumption balanced can make the use of nonrenewable energy sources during outages unnecessary.
Smart Features for a Smart Home
Understanding the amount of energy needed to keep the power on during an outage can be daunting. The Tesla Powerwall Battery can be programmed from your phone. Homeowners can monitor usage, alter back-up settings, and set time-based control from the Tesla mobile app. During an outage, stay informed with usage monitoring. Back-up settings allow you to conserve 100% of the energy stored in the battery to use for emergencies. Time-based control (otherwise known as load shifting) can maximize energy savings by alternating between solar and grid electricity. Lower grid rates combined with dependable solar power can amplify savings for homeowners.
Self Sufficient Emergency Energy
Possessing a reliable source of back-up energy can provide homeowners with peace of mind during natural disasters. Arranging a reliable source of back-up energy is essential with wildfire season quickly approaching. Solar Optimum’s excellent solar services combined with the Tesla Powerwall Battery guarantees homeowners consistent renewable energy, regardless of the circumstance of grid power. Homeowners located in the Porter Ranch, La Canada Flintridge, and Northridge areas will benefit from investing in a solar energy system.
