Kansas Solar Systems are Enphase Certified Battery Installation Professionals as well as be NABCEP professionals
Gain Energy Resilience with a Solar Plus Battery System
The benefits of a reliable back up power source are numerous. Whether you want to off set your energy costs by powering your home at night with energy from your battery storage, be less dependent on your utility company, experience frequent power outages and want to keep essential appliances like freezers, medical equipment, alarms or lighting running, want to move away from generators or complement your existing generator set up, we’ll plan and design a battery solution that’s right for you.
BE STORM READY: THE IQ 10 BATTERY
It’s often said in Kansas that if you don’t like the weather, just wait a couple of hours. The changes can be so quick and dramatic. In our great Sunflower state, the weather can be beautiful and amazing but we often experience brutal weather conditions. Part of living here is learning to deal with nature and the knock on effect it has on our power supply.
When the power grid fails, we want to offer you and your family the safest and simplest option, a combination of solar with the added reliability of smart battery storage where you get to choose what gets powered.
The Q10 battery by Enphase, will not only continue to deliver power to your home during an outage, it proactively tracks severe weather alerts* issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) using Storm Guard™ Technology. When severe weather is detected, your battery prepares your home for a possible outage by prioritizing energy storage and then stands ready to seamlessly handle an outage. That’s peace of mind.
10 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
The IQ 10 comes with a 10 year limited warranty and an optional 5-year limited warranty. It has been designed with your family’s safety in mind using lithium iron phosphate battery chemistry with low voltage DC power.
A battery can offer energy savings
Producing and storing your own electricity minimizes your reliance on your utility company and escalating energy prices.
No net meter agreement?
If your utility doesn’t offer net metering consider getting a battery to store energy ready for use at night when your panels aren’t generating power.
Adding additional batteries
You can easily add to your IQ 10 battery system over time as the batteries are modular by design.

App & Web Based Technology
The Enphase app provides real time performance monitoring for both your solar and battery. View how much power is being made, used, stored in batteries or transferred to the grid.
These and additional features are available in app form or web based and desktop formats.
We actively monitor all of our systems to make certain each array is producing energy as designed and without issue.
Essential Industry Accreditations
All of our residential projects are led and managed by an experienced North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioner, PV Installation Professional (NABCEP PVIP) to ensure the highest of industry standards and practices are met.

FAQ
Each product page has its own subject specific frequently asked questions section and we have a main FAQ section with other more generalized questions.
Still need help? Get in touch, we’ll be happy to help you.
Should I buy a battery now or in the future?
If you’re considering going solar and not sure if now is the right time for you to get a battery, you can always install a solar array that can be easily upgraded to include a battery. We would also recommend taking a look at the tax credits and incentives available for going solar with a battery as you may find adding a battery now is achievable.
I have solar panels so why do I need a battery during a blackout?
When there’s a grid power outage, your inverter will automatically shut down and stop sending power to your home and the grid. This is so linemen sent to resolve the grid issue do not come in contact with live lines. So, in the event of a power outage, even if you have solar, you won’t have power.
If however, you have Enphase IQ Micro inverters as part of your array, they have Sunlight Backup technology which safely seals your solar production from the grid. During daylight production hours you will still have limited power however as soon as the day reaches low light your array will no longer be able to provide power to your home.
Enphase IQ Micro inverters are compatible with nearly all solar panel makes and models, making it easier to invest in Sunlight Backup for daytime power during a black out. For greater energy security speak to us about a battery solution.
Battery vs generator
It doesn’t have to be a battery vs generator scenario. Some customers have solar, battery and generator solutions in place.
Batteries and generators fulfill the same need – a back up energy source when the grid is not working.
Batteries when paired with solar fulfill the same function as a generator by storing excess solar energy and having it ready to use in the event of an outage.
Generators use fossil fuel like natural gas, diesel or propane which you have to spend out on in order to run your generator. Some areas don’t have easy access paths to natural gas and putting infrastructure in for propane is a big investment.
Generators are noisy when in operation and can produce toxic exhaust gases. With a battery you don’t have to have that type of infrastructure, cost or organization of fuels in place. Batteries are multifunctional and quiet. You can use them when the grid is operating to further offset your energy costs and you can use them in the same way you would a generator in the event of a grid outage.
Batteries are a little more expensive upfront than generators but when installed as part of a solar project they are eligible for a tax credit which makes them a lot more closely aligned in price with a generators initial outlay.
Can I retrofit a battery?
Adding a battery to your existing solar system very much depends on your current equipment, especially your inverter set up. You may have to upgrade existing components in order to achieve your energy storage goals.
As each retrofit will be unique to your existing equipment, we’d be happy to review your options based on your current set up.
