Solar & batteries

How a solar and battery system fits together.

Each part has a job. Getting them sized and connected properly is what makes the system work for your home.

  1. Panels

    Turn sunlight into electricity during the day.

  2. Inverter

    Converts that power for household use and manages where it goes.

  3. Battery

    Stores energy for the evening and keeps essentials running during outages.

  4. DB board

    Distributes power safely to the circuits in your home.

Already have solar that isn't keeping up? An undersized or overloaded system can be upgraded or reconfigured. Hilmar's team can look at what you have and what it needs.
