About Our Battery Backup & Storage
Battery storage adds resilience to a solar system, and for many Rapid City homes and businesses it is the difference between a grid outage being an inconvenience and being a problem. A battery stores the extra power your panels make during the day so you can use it at night or during an outage, and it can keep essential circuits running when the grid goes down. Pricing depends on how much backup you want, so we quote it as part of your free solar design.
In the Black Hills, the case for storage is practical. Winter storms and high winds can knock out power, and homes on steep, end-of-line streets in Lead or Deadwood, or off-grid cabins around Hill City and Custer, can be among the last reconnected. A battery sized to your needs can carry your furnace fan, well pump, refrigerator, and lights through an outage, and it lets you store summer production instead of sending all of it back to the grid.
We design storage around what you actually want to keep running and for how long. That might be a few essential circuits during a short outage, or a larger system for an off-grid or near-off-grid property. We pair the battery with your solar and inverter, handle the permits and utility paperwork, and set up monitoring so you can see your charge level and production together in one app.
We install battery backup and storage across Rapid City, Box Elder, Black Hawk, Summerset, Piedmont, Sturgis, Spearfish, Deadwood, Lead, Hill City, Custer, Belle Fourche, Hermosa, Hot Springs, and Wall, backed by our 25-year workmanship warranty.

Battery Backup & Storage Questions
How much does a solar battery cost in Rapid City?
Battery pricing depends on how much backup capacity you want and how many circuits you need to run, so we quote it as part of your free solar design rather than a flat number. Storage may also qualify for the federal 30% tax credit when installed with solar, which we document, though you should confirm eligibility with a tax professional.
How long will a battery power my home?
It depends on the battery size and what you are running. A battery backing up only essentials, like your furnace fan, refrigerator, well pump, and some lights, lasts much longer than one trying to power the whole house. We size the system around the circuits you choose and give you a realistic estimate, not a one-size-fits-all answer.
Do I need a battery to go solar?
No. Many Rapid City homes go solar without storage and use net metering to bank extra production with the utility. A battery adds outage protection and lets you store your own power instead of exporting it. We help you weigh whether storage is worth it for your situation rather than pushing it on every project.
Will solar keep working in an outage without a battery?
Generally no. For safety, a standard grid-tied solar system shuts down during an outage so it does not send power onto lines crews may be working on. A battery with the right setup is what lets you keep using your solar when the grid is down. This surprises a lot of homeowners, so we explain it clearly up front.
Is a battery worth it for a Black Hills property?
For end-of-line streets, rural acreage, and off-grid cabins where outages last longer, storage is often well worth it. For a home in town with reliable power, it is more about preference and resilience. We give you the honest tradeoffs for your specific property so you can decide.
Can I add a battery later instead of now?
Often yes. Many systems can have storage added down the road, though it is usually simpler and sometimes cheaper to plan for it during the original install. We design your system with your future plans in mind so adding a battery later is straightforward.
