Recent customer feedback about enphase battery installation services.
We worked with Blakely. Very professional and quality conscious. Trustworthy and knowledgeable. We will continue to work with King Electric and Solar because of Blakely.

Every foothill home has different wiring, panel capacity, and outage priorities. Here's how we get from first call to a working battery system.
We inspect your existing solar array, main panel, and wiring before recommending anything. If the panel is outdated or full, or the array is underperforming, we address that first.
We identify which circuits matter most during an outage, refrigeration, lighting, internet, medical equipment, and where relevant, well-pump starting loads, then size the battery around those needs.
We design the system layout, prepare permit paperwork, and manage PG&E interconnection so the project meets local and utility requirements before installation begins.
Our electricians install the IQ Batteries and System Controller, connect them to your solar array or new microinverters, and configure monitoring through the Enphase app.
We test backup switching and essential load coverage, then walk you through monitoring and what to expect during an actual outage.
Get clear answers about enphase battery installation, preparation, timing, maintenance, and what to expect before requesting an estimate.
Q1
Yes. Enphase IQ Batteries are modular, so you can start with fewer units and add more later as your budget or outage priorities change, provided your panel and system have room for the expansion.
Q2
No. Enphase batteries work well with homes that already run Enphase microinverters, but we also evaluate compatibility for homes with other solar brands and recommend an alternative option if that's a better fit.
Q3
Solar paired with an Enphase battery and System Controller can continue powering selected circuits during an outage. Exact coverage depends on battery size and which loads you prioritize, which we work out during planning.
Q4
Both offer battery backup, but Enphase uses a modular, microinverter-based design while Powerwall is a single larger unit. We install both and can help you compare based on your home's solar setup and backup goals.
Q5
It depends on your well pump's starting load and the battery capacity installed. We evaluate actual pump specs before installation since well pumps often draw more power at startup than expected.
Q6
Yes, we manage the permitting paperwork and PG&E interconnection application as part of the installation project, so you're not coordinating that separately.
Q7
We check your existing array and main panel before recommending a battery. If the array is underperforming or the panel is outdated or at capacity, we address that first so the battery system performs as intended.
Q8
Backup coverage is customized per home. We size the system around loads you choose, such as refrigeration, lighting, internet, or medical equipment, rather than promising whole-home backup upfront.
