Home Battery Backup
in Clovis, CA
PG&E outages and PSPS events in the Central Valley can last hours or days. A home battery system keeps your lights, refrigerator, and critical loads running — automatically, without a generator. We install Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, Franklin WH, SolarEdge, and Sol-Ark as new installs or retrofits on existing solar systems.
Clovis Local Fact: Clovis has a high rate of existing solar installations — making it one of the best markets for battery backup retrofits, where the solar system is already in place.

Home Battery Backup in Clovis
Why Central Valley Homeowners Are Adding Battery Backup
PG&E's Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) have become a regular reality for Central Valley homeowners. In 2019, 2020, and 2021, hundreds of thousands of customers lost power for days at a time. Even outside of PSPS events, summer heat waves push the grid to its limits and rolling blackouts become a real risk. A home battery system changes the equation entirely. When the grid goes down, your battery automatically switches on — in milliseconds, not minutes. Your refrigerator keeps running. Your lights stay on. Your medical equipment keeps working. And if you have solar, your battery recharges every day from your panels, giving you indefinite backup capability.
Clovis is a growing city with high solar adoption and increasing interest in battery backup as PG&E outages become more frequent. We've completed installations throughout Clovis — in zip codes 93611, 93612, 93619 — and we understand the specific permitting requirements, utility coordination, and local conditions that affect every job here.

What a Home Battery Protects in Your Home
Every job we do in Clovis starts with a thorough assessment. Here's what we look for and why it matters.
Refrigerator & Freezer
Food spoilage during a multi-day outage can be significant. A battery keeps your refrigerator and freezer running indefinitely with solar recharging.
Medical Equipment
CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, and other medical devices can't wait for the grid to come back. Battery backup provides reliable, automatic power.
Lights & Outlets
Basic lighting, phone charging, and internet keep your family comfortable and connected during an outage.
HVAC (with proper sizing)
In Fresno's 110°F summers, air conditioning isn't a luxury. A properly sized battery system can run your HVAC through an outage.

Battery Backup FAQs — Clovis, CA
How much does a home battery backup system cost in Clovis?
Battery system costs in Clovis depend on the brand (Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Battery 5P, Franklin WH aPower, SolarEdge Energy Bank), capacity, and whether you're pairing with solar. For most Clovis homes with existing solar, a single Powerwall 3 or Enphase IQ Battery 5P handles essential loads and stores excess midday solar production for evening use. We provide a free, itemized written quote based on your home's energy usage and backup goals. Call (559) 355-1025.
Does a home battery work without solar in Clovis?
Yes. A battery system can be installed as a standalone backup power source, charged from the grid during off-peak hours. However, pairing with solar gives you the ability to recharge during an outage — making your backup capability indefinite rather than limited to one charge cycle. Clovis has a high rate of existing solar installations — making it one of the best markets for battery backup retrofits. Under PG&E's NEM 3.0, a battery lets you store midday solar production for evening use rather than exporting at low rates.
How long does a Tesla Powerwall last during an outage in Clovis?
A single Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh) can power essential loads (refrigerator, lights, outlets, router, CPAP) for 12–24 hours depending on usage. With solar recharging, it can run indefinitely. For most Clovis homes with existing solar, a single Powerwall 3 or Enphase IQ Battery 5P handles essential loads and stores excess midday solar production for evening use. We size every system based on your specific loads and backup goals.
Do I need a permit for battery backup installation in Clovis?
Yes. Battery backup installations in Clovis require permits from the City of Clovis Community Development Department and utility interconnection approval from PG&E. We handle all filings, coordinate the interconnection application, and schedule the final inspection. You don't deal with any paperwork.
What battery brands do you install in Clovis?
We install Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Battery 5P, Franklin WH aPower, SolarEdge Energy Bank, and Sol-Ark Hybrid Inverter systems in Clovis and surrounding communities. We recommend the right system based on your backup goals, existing solar setup (if any), and budget. All installations are permitted, inspected, and commissioned with monitoring app setup.

PG&E Billing
High True-Up Bill in Clovis?
A large PG&E annual true-up bill can have many causes — some are usage-related, some are equipment-related. Inverter failures, failed strings, panel soiling, and monitoring gaps can all reduce production without you knowing. We can evaluate your system's production history and identify what's driving the bill.
