Secure your home with a reliable solar backup solution
Even the best solar systems can’t guard against every outage. A dedicated solar battery backup ensures your lights, fridge, and essential electronics keep running—rain or shine. Our cutting-edge energy storage packages slash your electric bills and replace loud, polluting generators with whisper-quiet, eco-friendly power.
What Is a Solar Battery Storage System and How Does It Work?
Solar battery storage systems are essential for homeowners seeking energy independence and resilience. These systems store excess electricity generated by solar panels during peak sunlight hours, allowing you to use this stored energy during power outages or when sunlight is limited.
Â
When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home consumes, the surplus energy is directed to a battery storage system. This stored energy can then be used to power your home during periods when solar production is low or during grid outages. Advanced systems automatically detect outages and switch to battery power, ensuring uninterrupted energy supply for your essential appliances.
Why Choose a Solar Battery Backup System for Your Home?
Lower Your Energy Bills
Store excess solar energy and use it during peak hours to cut down your electricity costs. You may even earn energy credits through net metering programs.
Energy Independence
With your own backup system, you can reduce dependence on utility companies and control where your energy comes from—even when the grid goes down.
Reliable Backup During Emergencies
Keep your lights, appliances, and essential devices running smoothly—even during blackouts, storms, or unexpected grid failures.
Safer, Cleaner, Quieter
Unlike noisy gas-powered generators, solar batteries run silently, emit no fumes, and require virtually no maintenance—making them ideal for modern, eco-conscious households.
Federal and State Incentives
Take advantage of the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit and potential local incentives in North Carolina to offset your system costs and maximize your ROI.
Long-Term Financial Benefits
While traditional generators require ongoing fuel and upkeep, solar storage systems offer a long-term, low-maintenance solution with big savings over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Battery and Back Up Systems
How do I know which solar battery is right for my home?
At MJAK Contracting, we design every solar battery storage system around your home’s specific power usage, backup needs, and electrical layout. We’ll walk you through all the key considerations—including capacity, compatibility, and your long-term energy goals—so you get a tailored solution that works seamlessly.
What’s the difference between AC and DC-coupled battery systems?
Both systems have their place, and we help you decide based on your home setup and energy goals. AC-coupled systems are often ideal for retrofits, while DC-coupled systems may be more efficient for new installations. Our team will explain the pros and cons of each during your consultation.
What are continuous power and peak power, and why do they matter?
Some appliances require steady power over time, while others need short bursts of high energy. We’ll help you determine your household’s continuous and peak load demands to ensure your battery system is properly sized for both everyday needs and high-usage moments.
Can I earn money or credits from unused solar energy?
Yes! Through net metering, any excess electricity your system generates can be sent back to the grid for energy credits. These credits help offset your utility bill by accounting for the energy you contribute.
Does my utility provider offer net metering?
Most major North Carolina utilities, including Duke Energy, do. If you’re with a smaller provider or co-op, we’ll help you research your options and understand how net metering could apply to your home.
How long does a solar battery last?
Most solar batteries have a lifespan of 5 to 15 years, depending on the brand and model. We’ll help you select a high-quality option and give you maintenance guidance to get the most from your investment.
Should I add battery backup to my solar PV system?
Absolutely. A solar battery gives you backup power when the grid goes down and adds independence to your energy system. Even if you’re enrolled in net metering, a battery ensures your home stays powered during outages and helps maximize your solar investment.
