Solar Battery Storage Installation.

Resort Electric installs battery storage for Wood River Valley homes, either with a new solar system or added to an existing one. We wire batteries to back up the circuits that matter during an outage, such as heat controls, a well pump and refrigeration.

How It Works

How battery storage work gets done

  1. 01

    Choose backed-up circuits.

    We go through which circuits you need during an outage.

  2. 02

    Compatibility and design.

    We check your existing solar, inverter and panel and design the battery system.

  3. 03

    Permits and utility updates.

    We pull permits and file any Idaho Power updates the change requires.

  4. 04

    Installation.

    We install the battery, critical loads panel and switching equipment.

  5. 05

    Test and handoff.

    We simulate an outage, confirm switchover and show you the app or display.

Local Conditions

Battery backup for Wood River Valley homes

Winter outages are the main reason valley homeowners ask about batteries. Furnace and boiler controls, well pumps and heat tape are typical circuits to back up, and the right selection depends on your home.

Well pumps have a high starting load. Sizing the battery and inverter to start the pump reliably is part of the design, not an afterthought.

Batteries have temperature limits. Where the battery is installed, inside a garage or conditioned space, matters in our winters, and we follow the manufacturer's requirements.

Battery projects in Hailey, Sun Valley and Bellevue start with the circuits you need during an outage and suitable equipment locations in Blaine County, Idaho.

Questions

Battery Storage questions

Will a battery power my whole house?

It depends on the battery capacity, the inverter and your loads. Many homes back up selected circuits such as heat controls, a well pump, refrigeration and some lights, which stretches the battery further. Some systems can cover more. We help you decide what matters most and size the system around that.

How long will a battery last during an outage?

That depends on battery capacity, which circuits are running, how much they draw and whether solar is recharging the battery during the day. In winter, shorter days and snow on panels reduce recharging. We explain how your selected loads affect runtime so your expectations match the system.

Can I add a battery to the solar I already have?

Often, yes. Some inverters accept batteries directly, while others need an additional battery inverter or other equipment. We look at your existing system and panel, explain which options are compatible, and handle the electrical work and any permit and utility updates the change requires.

Battery or generator, which should I choose?

Both can provide backup. A generator can run longer on fuel and handle larger loads. A battery is quiet, has no fuel to manage and recharges from solar. Some homes use both. We install both, so we can explain the tradeoffs for your home and how you use it.
