BATTERY BACKUP
If you are not ready for the full project form, share only your name, phone, and city. Origin can confirm service fit and the most useful next step.
UNDERSTAND YOUR INSTALLATION
Battery energy capacity and power output answer different questions. Stored energy helps determine how long a set of loads might run. Output limits what can operate at the same time. Starting an appliance can require more power than keeping it running. Ask the proposal to describe usable storage, continuous output and the equipment assumptions behind the backup plan.
Refrigeration, internet, a few lights and selected outlets create a different scope from air conditioning, a pool pump and electric cooking. Use the backup planner to compare illustrative appliance combinations. Then bring the actual appliance and electrical equipment details to Origin so the selected circuits, startup demand and expected operating behavior can be reviewed.
Adding a battery to an existing solar installation requires a compatibility review. The inverter, transfer or isolation equipment, electrical layout and control settings all matter. Discuss backup reserve, whether compatible solar can recharge storage during an outage, and what happens when available energy is low. The finished design should explain these limits before installation.

A property-specific quote should identify the loads you want supported, usable energy, continuous and startup power, transfer or isolation equipment, solar compatibility, electrical work, permits, commissioning and operating limits.
The U.S. Department of Energy explains that ordinary grid-connected solar generally shuts down during an outage. Solar needs compatible inverter and storage equipment to keep serving loads while disconnected from the grid.
DOE solar and resilience basicsOrigin operates as Stanford Group LLC DBA Origin Solar, Roofing & Generators under Florida electrical contractor license EC13012465. Confirm the responsible license and written electrical scope before equipment is selected.
Verify a Florida licenseUtility and permit requirements depend on the exact address. For example, OUC asks solar-plus-battery applicants to document the battery separately and publishes a rebate tradeoff affecting export-credit eligibility. Confirm the current rule for the account before relying on an incentive.

Made for your property
Here’s what we review when planning your home batteries project.
Define the essential circuits and your expectations for an outage.
Understand both how much energy is stored and how much power can be delivered at once.
Review the existing inverter, solar system, and electrical equipment before selecting storage.
Get familiar with backup reserve, monitoring, and the equipment’s operating modes.
Before you decide
Runtime depends on usable capacity, the appliances running, weather, and whether compatible solar can recharge the battery. A single blanket number is not useful.
Some configurations can, subject to the air conditioner’s startup load and the battery’s output. A load assessment is needed.
Possibly. Compatibility and installation scope depend on your current equipment, electrical layout, and desired backup capability.
