ARIZONA HOME BACKUP POWER
APS, SRP, or TEP — could a battery lower your bill?
Tell us what you want to keep powered and whether you already have solar. We’ll help you understand how a battery could fit your home, your electric bill and your utility—APS, SRP, TEP or another provider.
We don’t sell your info to a dozen salesmen. One installer, one quote, one straight answer — even if the answer is no.
Your installer may be gone. Your panels still need watching.
If your solar installer has closed, it can be hard to know whether your system is still producing what it should. PanelSitter gives homeowners a free, two-minute solar health check to help spot possible underperformance and decide what to look into next. It’s a simple first step before considering changes to your home energy setup.

1. Tell Us About Your Home
Answer a few simple questions about your home, power needs, and priorities.

Your Home. Your Utility. Your Battery Plan.
A battery should fit your Arizona home—not just an advertised installation price. A local installer can evaluate your utility rate plan, existing solar, air-conditioning needs and priority loads.
YOUR BATTERY CAN WORK EVERY DAY
Store daytime solar for evening use, or charge at lower-cost times when your utility plan and system allow. This may reduce higher-cost grid purchases. Savings depend on usage, rates, charging losses, equipment costs and settings; they are not guaranteed.
BACKUP + LOCAL SERVICE
Backup requires compatible equipment and proper design. Ask which loads will run, for how long, and how much capacity stays reserved for outages. Compare full cost, financing terms, warranties and local service.

Choosing a Home Battery, Made Simple
Start with five questions. Your installer can handle the technical details.
What do I want to keep running?
Essentials, air conditioning or more? Ask what will run and for how long. AC and whole-home backup need the right system.
Will it work with my solar?
Already have panels? Have the installer check compatibility. No solar? Ask about battery-only options.
Could it help lower my electric bill?
A battery may store energy for higher-cost hours. Ask for an estimate based on your actual bill. Savings vary.
What will it cost?
Get a complete installed price, including electrical work, and compare total payments if financing.
Who helps if something goes wrong?
Confirm warranty coverage, local service and contractor licensing before you buy.
