Secure your power with battery-backup
Whole-home solar batteries keep your home powered, even when the grid goes down.
Most solar systems shut off when the grid goes down. Yours doesn't have to.
We offer turn-key battery backup solutions, from FranklinWH, Tesla and Enphase Energy.
Our backup solutions automatically transfer power when the grid goes out, in a matter of milliseconds. Most of the time, you'll only know the grid is out because of the notification on your phone.

A solar battery backup system is the best way to keep your critical loads running. Whether it’s a summer storm, hurricane, or unexpected grid failure, a solar battery provides seamless backup power to your home without the noise and hassle of a generator.
Unlike gas generators, solar batteries recharge automatically from your solar panels, so you don't have to run out for fuel during an emergency.
Modern home batteries are designed for reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance.
They can even power heavy loads like air conditioners and water heaters, keeping your home running smoothly even when the grid is down.

What our customers say
They kept me informed of the processes and timing as well as scheduling the work needed. I am very happy with the new production and backup system and especially when my grid power goes out! The battery is very quiet, I really don't hear it at all; its performance happens seamlessly when the grid is down. What a relief to sit back and enjoy the day.
I could not be happier with the way the installation went. I have since had them install the Tesla Powerwall 3 system and I have recommended them to a number of my friends and neighbors. They were a terrific choice for me.
I'm generally hard to impress. Virtue Solar exceeded my expectations every step of the way.
I would highly recommend Virtue Solar!! From the first contact and estimate, Peter and Matt were very helpful in getting my system designed for my needs. I can't stress enough how happy I am that a local company did such a superb job with my setup.
