Solar and battery backup work in Catarina: local conditions
South Texas heat keeps air conditioners running for most of the year, which is hard on breakers, disconnects and panel connections, and summer thunderstorms bring lightning and surges. Homes here range from early-1900s houses with original wiring to new subdivisions, so we do everything from rewiring to EV charger and generator installations. We plan solar and battery backup work in Catarina with those conditions in mind.
Solar and battery backup work cost in Catarina
Solar electrical and battery backup cost in Catarina depends on the equipment, the size of the battery system, how many circuits are backed up, the condition of your existing service and utility interconnection requirements. Electrical hookup alone is a much smaller scope than a full battery installation. We quote each project after reviewing the site and the equipment.

Solar and battery backup work in Catarina: common questions
Do solar panels work during a power outage?
Not on their own. Standard grid-tied solar shuts down in an outage to protect line workers. A battery backup system with the right transfer equipment lets your solar keep powering the home.
How long will a home battery run my house?
It depends on the battery capacity and what you run. Lights, refrigeration, internet and fans can run for a long time. Central air conditioning draws a battery down quickly, so many systems back up selected circuits.
Do I need a panel upgrade for solar in Catarina?
Sometimes. The amount of solar a panel can accept is tied to its bus rating. If your panel is too small or is full, an upgrade or a solar-ready panel solves it.
Can you add a battery to my existing solar system?
In most cases, yes. Depending on your inverter, the battery is either AC-coupled alongside it or the inverter is replaced with a hybrid unit.
