Can a battery power my whole house?
+
Yes, with a whole-home system sized for it. The Anker SOLIX E10 with its Power Dock and EG4 FlexBOSS systems with the GridBOSS connect at your main panel and switch the whole house over automatically. How long it runs depends on battery size and what you run, so we size it to your loads, and solar extends it.
How much does whole-home battery backup cost?
+
A solar-ready whole-home battery system typically runs $10,000 to $20,000 installed. With solar, most projects run $20,000 to $35,000 or more. Every home is different, so the price depends on battery capacity, solar array size, your loads and any panel work. We quote it after a load review.
Anker SOLIX E10, X1 or EG4: which is right for me?
+
The E10 is Anker's newest whole-home system: 7.6 kW continuous per unit, up to 30 kWh per unit and expandable to 90 kWh, with a 200A Power Dock for automatic whole-home switchover. The X1 is modular, adding 5 kWh battery modules up to 30 kWh per system. EG4 FlexBOSS systems suit larger solar arrays and higher loads. We recommend one after a load review.
Do I need solar?
+
No. We install whole-home battery backup that is ready for solar, and you can add panels now or later. Solar recharges the batteries during a long outage and lowers your bills the rest of the year.
How does battery backup compare to a gas generator?
+
Battery backup is silent, needs no fuel and no oil changes, and recharges from solar. A generator can run longer on a gas line. With enough capacity and solar, a battery system covers most outages here.
Can I expand the system later?
+
Yes. Anker SOLIX and EG4 systems are modular, so we can add batteries or solar as your needs grow.
Will my panel need an upgrade?
+
Sometimes. We check your panel and service during the load review. If an upgrade is needed, we can do it as part of the same project.
