It’s September in California, which means wildfire season, extreme heat waves, and—you guessed it—rolling blackouts. For homeowners in Brentwood and throughout Northern California, grid instability has become a frustrating reality.
But with Ambrose Solar, you don’t have to wait in the dark. Solar energy paired with battery backup is your best line of defense against blackouts and skyrocketing utility bills.
Why the Grid Keeps Going Down
Between high temperatures straining infrastructure, fire-related shutoffs (PSPS), and energy demand surges, California utilities are struggling to keep up. PG&E, in particular, has warned customers about preemptive outages to reduce wildfire risk.
That means your home could lose power on a moment’s notice—sometimes for hours or even days.
How Solar + Battery Storage Keeps You Online
When paired with a battery system, solar panels allow you to keep your home powered even during a utility outage.
Here’s what that looks like:
- During the day: Your panels generate electricity to power your home and charge your battery.
- During an outage: The battery seamlessly kicks in to run essential appliances—refrigerators, medical equipment, lights, and Wi-Fi.
- At night: You use stored energy until the grid returns.
Unlike generators, solar + battery systems are quiet, automatic, maintenance-free, and emissions-free.
Battery Storage Also Qualifies for the 30% Federal Tax Credit
Install a battery with your solar system and you’ll receive a 30% credit on the entire system cost. That’s thousands of dollars in savings—plus the security of knowing your home will stay powered when your neighbors go dark.
