Florida's grid is unreliable.
Your home doesn't have to be.
Every hurricane season, Palm Beach County homeowners learn the same lesson: when a Category 2 storm takes out power for 72 hours, a generator is a workaround — not a solution. Solar battery storage changes that equation permanently.
A home battery system stores the energy your solar panels generate during the day, then releases it at night or during a grid outage. You wake up to a fully charged home, not a dark one. No fuel to hunt, no extension cords to route, no fumes indoors.
At Locke Energy Solutions, we install battery backup systems for homeowners across Palm Beach County. We work with all major battery brands — Tesla Powerwall, LG Chem, Enphase, and others — and we size the system based on your actual usage, not a sales pitch.
We serve all of Palm Beach County — Wellington, West Palm Beach, Jupiter, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Lake Worth, Palm Beach Gardens, Royal Palm Beach, and Greenacres. Battery installations typically completed within 2 weeks of purchase.
Popular battery systems we install
Tesla Powerwall 3
13.5 kWh capacity, 11.5 kW continuous output. Seamless whole-home backup with the Tesla app for monitoring. Most popular choice for PBC homeowners.
LG Chem RESU Prime
16 kWh maximum capacity, modular expansion. Korean manufacturing, 10-year warranty. Great value for larger homes with higher energy needs.
Enphase IQ Battery
Modular 3.36 kWh units that stack to 44.8 kWh. Microinverter-based architecture means no single point of failure. Best for complex roof layouts.
What battery storage costs in 2026
Pricing varies based on system size, equipment choice, and whether you already have solar. Most Palm Beach County homeowners with solar who add battery backup spend between $9,000 and $18,000 after applicable federal and state incentives.
The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) covers 30% of battery storage systems installed with solar through 2032. Florida doesn't have a standalone battery incentive, but many utilities offer rebates for backup-capable systems.
If your home doesn't have solar yet, we can design a solar-plus-battery system that optimizes for both daily use and backup capability. We provide a detailed savings estimate and payback analysis before you sign anything.
What the installation looks like
- Site assessment — we evaluate your main panel capacity, circuit layout, and solar configuration
- System design — we size the battery based on your critical loads (not your whole house, unless you want that)
- Permitting — we handle the county permit and utility interconnection application
- Installation — wall-mounted battery, integration with your existing solar inverter or install a new hybrid inverter
- Inspection — county inspection and utility approval of the interconnection
- Commissioning — we walk you through the app, explain backup mode, and test a simulated outage
