No matter what the utility grid is doing, more homeowners than ever are looking for ways to keep the lights on. Whether it’s a thunderstorm, winter weather event, or rolling blackouts, outages are becoming more common in Tennessee and across the southern United States. Residential solar paired with a battery system offers not just clean energy and savings, but also something priceless: resiliency and grid-independence.
For nearly 20 years LightWave has been designing and installing solar + storage solutions and we’ve seen firsthand how these systems can transform a home or business’s energy security.
What Does Resiliency Really Mean?
Resiliency is the ability to keep essential energy running when the grid goes down. With a detailed, custom-designed system, your solar array charges your battery during the day and the battery powers your home when utility services can’t. That means refrigerators stay cold, lights stay on, medical devices keep working, and you stay connected.
Unlike a generator, a solar + battery system is quiet, requires no fuel deliveries, and recharges itself every day the sun comes up.
How It Works
- Solar panels generate electricity whenever the sun is shining.
- The battery stores excess power for later use, day or night.
- During a grid outage, the battery automatically powers your home, seamlessly keeping critical circuits online.
The LightWave team customizes every system to match your energy needs, whether that’s running a few essentials during a short outage or keeping nearly your whole house or business powered through extended grid outages.
Everyday Benefits, Not Just Emergencies
Resiliency isn’t only about storm season. Batteries also help you:
- Maximize your solar energy use, so more of your home runs on clean power.
- Prepare for tomorrow’s grid as utilities introduce time-of-use rates and advanced metering.
In short, solar + storage makes your home more independent, efficient, and future-ready. If you’re ready to reduce your reliance on the grid and gain peace of mind with clean, reliable power, let’s talk! Book your free consultation today.
