Power for Your Home — Even When the Grid Goes Down
More Pennsylvania homeowners are investing in solar energy, but few realize how much more powerful their system can be when paired with battery storage.
By combining solar panels with a home battery, you can store excess energy during the day and use it at night or during outages — keeping your lights on and your bills low.
At Endless Energy Electric, we help homeowners across the Lehigh Valley design and install efficient solar + battery systems that deliver real energy freedom.

Why Pair Solar Panels with a Battery System?
A standard grid-tied solar system shuts down during power outages for safety reasons — even if the sun is shining. With a battery system, your solar energy can continue powering your home, independent of the grid.
Key benefits include:
Backup power: Keep essential devices running during storms or blackouts.
Lower energy bills: Store excess daytime energy for nighttime use.
Grid independence: Rely less on your utility company’s fluctuating rates.
Sustainability: Reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner community.
It’s a smart move for both your wallet and your peace of mind.
How a Solar + Battery System Works
Here’s how it all fits together:
Your solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours.
Your home uses what it needs, and any excess energy is stored in the battery.
When the sun goes down or the power goes out, the battery kicks in, supplying energy to your home.
Once recharged the next day, the cycle continues — reducing your reliance on the grid.
Endless Energy Electric’s certified installers design systems that integrate seamlessly with your existing setup or as a brand-new installation.
Maximizing Energy Independence in the Lehigh Valley
The Lehigh Valley experiences all four seasons — hot summers, cold winters, and unpredictable storms — making energy reliability essential. Here’s how you can optimize your setup:
Choose the Right Battery Capacity
Not all batteries are created equal. Your battery’s size determines how long your home can run when the grid is down.
We’ll help you calculate capacity based on:
Average daily energy usage
Essential circuits (e.g., fridge, lights, sump pump, Wi-Fi)
Backup duration goals (4 hours vs 24 hours of autonomy)
Optimize Panel Placement & Efficiency
Proper roof orientation, tilt, and shading analysis ensure your system produces enough energy year-round — even in Pennsylvania’s cloudy months.
Take Advantage of Federal & State Incentives
As of 2025, homeowners can claim up to 30% federal tax credit for both solar panels and energy storage systems. Some Pennsylvania utilities also offer net-metering programs that credit you for sending energy back to the grid.
We stay up-to-date on all available programs so you don’t leave money on the table.
