Stay Energized, Even When the Grid Goes Down
Earlier this week, neighborhoods across Florida lost power without warning. There was no storm, no official notice, just silence, flickering lights, and dark homes. For many, this meant hours of discomfort, lost work, and spoiled groceries. But not for everyone.
Homeowners with solar and battery backup systems installed by Florida Power Services didn’t skip a beat. Lights stayed on. Wi-Fi kept streaming. Refrigerators ran cold. Even the AC kept blowing. That’s the power of a smart, well-designed energy solution.
With a fragile power grid and unpredictable weather, Florida residents can no longer rely on utility companies alone. Investing in solar and a battery backup system gives you the freedom to stay powered, protected, and in control.
💡 What Is a Solar and Battery Backup System?
Solar and battery backup systems combine rooftop solar panels with a home battery. During the day, your panels generate electricity. That energy powers your home and charges the battery. When the grid fails, or at night, your battery steps in to keep essential circuits or your entire home running.
Unlike a generator, there’s no noise, no fumes, and no need for fuel. These systems work automatically and recharge every day through your solar array.
At Florida Power Services, we custom-design every system to match your energy usage, backup needs, and future goals.
🌀 Why Backup Systems Matter in Florida
Living in Florida comes with beauty, sunshine, and risk. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Florida ranks among the top states for total power outage duration each year. Between hurricane season, high demand, and infrastructure issues, the power grid is constantly under pressure.
Many Floridians face:
- Frequent blackouts and brownouts
- Sudden outages on sunny days
- Longer recovery times after storms
- Rising electricity rates from local utilities
That’s why more homeowners are turning to solar panels and battery backup systems. They’re no longer willing to wait for power to come back or depend on utility companies for answers.
Instead, they’re taking energy into their own hands.
⚙️ How It Works
Here’s how a typical solar and battery backup system functions in Florida:
- Daytime Production: Solar panels collect energy from the sun.
- Home Usage: That power runs your lights, appliances, and systems.
- Battery Charging: Extra energy gets stored in your home battery.
- Outage Protection: When the grid fails, the battery kicks in instantly.
- Nighttime Power: After sunset, your battery continues to power your home.
You don’t have to flip switches. You don’t need to monitor anything. Florida Power Services installs equipment that works behind the scenes, quietly protecting your home from outages.
🏠 Backup Options to Match Your Home
Not every family has the same backup needs. Some want to power only a few essentials. Others prefer full-home backup to keep everything running.
Your solar and battery backup system can be tailored to:
- Cover essential loads like refrigerators, lighting, and Wi-Fi
- Support medical devices and security systems
- Power HVAC systems for climate control
- Provide seamless energy during storms or outages
Florida Power Services designs backup systems based on your electric usage, lifestyle, and priorities. You won’t pay for more than you need, and you’ll always have what matters most.
📉 Rising Utility Costs vs. Locked-In Solar Rates
Florida’s utility companies continue to raise rates. Homeowners who depend solely on grid power are paying more each year with no signs of improvement.
By contrast, solar and battery backup systems lock in your energy costs for decades. Your rooftop system generates free electricity every day, and your battery helps you avoid peak pricing and emergency service fees.
With solar, you pay once for equipment and installation. Then you enjoy reliable, low-cost energy for 25 to 30 years.
💸 Federal Tax Credits and Upfront Savings
Right now, it’s more affordable than ever to install solar and a battery backup system in Florida thanks to valuable federal incentives:
- 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
- 10% Bonus credit for using U.S.-manufactured equipment
These credits can reduce your upfront costs by up to 40 percent, making it easier to invest in long-term energy security.
Pair that with local utility savings, and most homeowners see a return on their investment within just a few years. You’ll also increase your home’s value, which benefits you whether you stay or sell.
