Power Your Home or Business—Day and Night
Solar panels generate energy when the sun is shining. But what happens when it’s not?
That’s where battery storage comes in.
At SunLit Solar, we design and install smart battery systems that store excess solar power during the day so you can use it at night, during cloudy weather, or when the grid goes down. It’s the key to true energy independence—and it’s engineered with the same precision and care we bring to every solar project.
A battery system keeps your lights on when the grid goes dark. Whether it’s a neighborhood outage or a utility maintenance event, your stored solar energy automatically powers critical circuits in your home or business. No noise, no fuel, no stress—just clean backup power when you need it most.
Without a battery, excess energy your panels produce during the day is sent back to the grid for credits. With a battery, you store that power for your own use, maximizing your energy savings and reducing your reliance on the utility.
In some areas, utility companies charge more for electricity during peak hours. Battery storage lets you use stored solar energy during those expensive windows, cutting your utility costs even further.
Already have solar panels? SunLit Solar can integrate a battery system with your existing setup, allowing you to upgrade your home or business for round-the-clock renewable energy.
During daylight hours, your solar panels generate electricity—some of which powers your property, and the rest charges your battery system. When the sun sets or grid power is interrupted, your system automatically draws power from the battery instead.
Our engineers design each system for optimal load management, ensuring your most essential circuits—like refrigeration, lights, and Wi-Fi—stay powered even during extended outages.
SunLit Solar partners with industry-leading manufacturers to deliver reliable, high-performance energy storage systems. We offer a range of configurations, including:
Whole-Home Backup Systems – Keeps your entire home or building running during outages.
Partial-Home or Essential Load Systems – Powers only the circuits that matter most, for greater efficiency and affordability.
Scalable Commercial Battery Systems – Custom-engineered for warehouses, offices, schools, and industrial facilities.
Our engineers will help you determine the right battery capacity, brand, and configuration to match your property’s size and energy goals.
Residential Battery Benefits
For homeowners, solar batteries provide peace of mind and practical savings:
Reliable power during outages.
Reduced grid dependence.
Increased solar self-consumption and long-term ROI.
Clean, quiet backup alternative to gas generators.
A properly designed storage system can help you achieve 80–100% energy independence, especially when paired with high-efficiency solar panels and smart load management.
Commercial Battery Benefits
For businesses, battery systems do more than provide backup—they help manage costs.
Offset peak demand charges.
Improve energy resiliency.
Reduce dependency on unpredictable utility rates.
Qualify for additional federal tax credits and depreciation incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act.
With expert engineering and monitoring, SunLit Solar ensures your commercial system delivers measurable savings and operational reliability.
Most solar batteries last between 10 and 15 years, depending on usage and maintenance. SunLit Solar installs only top-tier battery systems with long-term manufacturer warranties (often up to 25 years). Proper system design and climate considerations—like Utah’s temperature swings—are part of our engineering process to help extend battery life.
Yes. In most cases, SunLit Solar can retrofit a battery storage system to your existing solar setup. Our engineers will review your current inverter and production levels to ensure seamless integration without voiding any warranties.
If the grid goes down, your battery system automatically switches to backup mode. Critical appliances like lights, refrigerators, and Wi-Fi stay powered while your panels continue to recharge the battery during daylight hours—no generator needed.
Battery prices vary based on size, brand, and power needs. On average, Utah homeowners can expect systems to range between $8,000–$25,000, while commercial systems are larger and priced accordingly.
Yes—depending on your system size and energy use. Some property owners choose whole-home or full-building backup, while others select essential-load systems that only power key areas. Our engineers will help you decide what’s best for your goals and budget.
Battery systems are largely maintenance-free, but SunLit Solar provides performance monitoring and periodic inspections to ensure everything runs efficiently. We design every system to be as hands-off as possible for the owner.
That depends on your battery size and usage. Most systems can provide 8–20 hours of backup power, with continuous recharging during the day from your solar panels. Larger commercial systems can sustain operations for even longer.
We only install high-performance lithium-based systems from trusted manufacturers such as Tesla, Enphase, and SolarEdge. These batteries are known for reliability, safety, and long lifespan, and all are backed by manufacturer warranties and SunLit Solar’s quality assurance.
Yes. While net billing allows you to earn credits for excess power, a battery helps you store and control your own energy, protecting you from time-of-use rate changes and giving you power during outages—something the grid can’t guarantee.
Switching to solar doesn’t have to be complicated—and with SunLit Solar, it isn’t.
Whether you manage a single facility or multiple locations across Utah, our engineering team makes the process straightforward, transparent, and data-driven from day one. We’ll show you exactly how much energy your business can generate, how much you can save, and what your long-term return will look like—all before you spend a dime.
It starts with a quick assessment using our Free Solar Calculator. Once we have your property details and energy usage, our engineers will create a custom solar report that outlines:
Your ideal system size and layout
Estimated annual production and savings
Available tax credits and incentives
Projected payback period and ROI timeline
No hard sell. No inflated promises. Just facts, precision, and a clear plan for how your business can take control of its energy future.
