Solar Battery Backup Systems in Puerto Rico
Real energy independence during LUMA Energy outages. Specifically designed for Puerto Rico's conditions.
Puerto Rico has one of the highest outage rates of any US territory. After Hurricane Maria, many families and businesses were without electricity for weeks or months. Solar battery backup systems are the ultimate solution for energy independence in Puerto Rico.
A solar system with battery storage works differently from a conventional grid-connected solar system. When panels produce more energy than you consume, the excess is stored in the battery instead of being exported to LUMA Energy. When panels don't produce enough (at night or during an outage), the battery provides the necessary energy.
At Kilowatt PR, we install state-of-the-art lithium battery systems with the most reliable technology available on the market. Our licensed electricians and electrical engineers with over 3 decades of experience in Puerto Rico know exactly how to size and configure these systems for local conditions.
A standard battery system can provide up to 24 hours of electricity for essential appliances: refrigeration, lighting, fans, medical devices, and communications. For homes or businesses with higher demand, we design multi-battery systems that extend autonomy even further.
The installation includes a hybrid inverter that intelligently manages energy between the panels, battery, home consumption, and the LUMA Energy grid. The system automatically disconnects from the grid when it detects an outage, protecting LUMA technicians working on the lines, and automatically reconnects when service is restored.
