AfterFast, Reliable Solar Battery Storage & Backup Across Everman
Solar battery storage in Everman runs anywhere from $9,500 to $18,500 before incentives, depending on whether you’re adding a single Enphase IQ Battery 5P to existing panels or a Tesla Powerwall 3 with a main panel upgrade. Most Everman homes we see need some electrical work first, so the realistic range lands between $12,000 and $22,000. The good news is that a battery means your lights stay on when Oncor’s grid drops after a spring hailstorm. Call Gus Petrakis at (877) 550-6892 and we’ll give you a number based on your actual house, your actual panel, and your actual bill.
Why Gus’s Solar Is Everman’s Preferred Solar Battery Storage & Backup Company
We’ve been out to enough homes in Everman to know what we’re walking into before we even open the panel door. Homes off Enon Avenue, along W Enon Drive, and in the neighborhoods near Everman Parkway tend to be 1950s to 1970s builds with 60- or 100-amp electrical services. That’s not a problem, but it changes the job. A national outfit quoting you a battery over the phone will discover that panel issue after you sign, and suddenly you’ve got a change order. Gus’s Solar plans for it from the first quote.
Our Everman customers are people who’ve been burned by the door-to-door routine: a slick quote, a rushed signature, and a company that vanishes. Gus Petrakis founded this business in 2011 and puts his own name on the truck. When you call (877) 550-6892, a live person answers. Not a call center. Not a ticket. And the price we quote is the price you pay because the math is built off your actual utility bill and your actual electrical panel, not a brochure.
Our team serves Everman directly from our Dallas-Fort Worth office. Same-week estimates are typical for battery work, and we carry the local electrical permit requirements in our heads. That means fewer surprises, fewer delays, and a system that passes Oncor inspection the first time.
Our Solar Battery Storage & Backup Services in Everman
Tesla Powerwall Installation
We install Tesla Powerwall 3 units throughout Everman, and it’s the most common choice for homeowners who want true whole-home backup. The Powerwall 3’s 11.5 kW continuous output can start older air conditioning compressors without a soft-start kit in most cases, which matters in a Texas July. On a home off W Enon Drive with a 200-amp panel already in place, this is often a clean one-day install. On an older Everman home with a 60- or 100-amp panel, we coordinate the panel upgrade and the Powerwall install so you’re not stuck with two contractors pointing fingers.
Enphase IQ Battery Installation
The Enphase IQ Battery 5P is a strong fit for Everman homes that don’t need to run the AC during an outage but do want the fridge, freezer, medical equipment, and lights covered. It outputs 7.6 kW continuously, which handles most household loads except the big compressor. We configure the system’s UL 1741 SB settings for Oncor’s local voltage profile, so it engages properly when the grid sags and drops rather than sitting idle while your neighbors go dark.
Whole-Home Backup Power
Everman sits in the North Texas hail corridor, and every spring the same pattern plays out: a squall line rolls through, golf-ball hail pounds roofs, and Oncor’s feeder lines take a beating. Whole-home backup means you don’t wait nine hours in the dark. We size the battery bank to your actual outage needs based on your bill and your panel, then configure storm watch modes so the system tops itself off when severe weather is forecast.
Battery Retrofit for Existing Solar
Plenty of Everman homeowners already have solar panels from a previous installer and now want storage. We do battery retrofits for existing solar systems whether the original install was ours or someone else’s. The catch in Everman is usually the main panel. If your home still has the original 100-amp service from the 1960s, Oncor won’t approve the bidirectional meter until that panel is upgraded to 200 amps. We handle that as part of the quote, not as a surprise change order.

Trusted Brands We Service in Everman
We work with Tesla, Enphase, and FranklinWH battery systems and pair them with solar equipment from Qcells, REC, and SunPower. For Everman customers, we keep common inverter and battery components in local stock, which means a replacement part comes from our truck, not a warehouse two states away. That’s the difference between a same-week fix and a month-long wait after a hailstorm. One call to (877) 550-6892 gets a live person and a straight answer.
Common Solar Battery Storage & Backup Problems We See in Everman Homes
- The battery fails Oncor interconnection because the existing 100-amp panel can’t handle the bidirectional meter upgrade. This stalls the permit for weeks. We check the panel on the first visit and build any upgrade into the original scope, so you’re not surprised mid-project.
- Storm winds knock out grid power, but the battery doesn’t engage rapid shutdown properly. This happens when the installer never configured the inverter’s UL 1741 SB settings for local voltage sag. We set those thresholds correctly the first time, because we’ve seen the damage a frustrated homeowner does cursing at a dark house in a storm.
- The homeowner expects the battery to run the air conditioner during a summer outage, but a single Enphase IQ Battery 5P can’t start an old 3-ton compressor. We’ll tell you up front what your battery will and won’t run, and whether you need a soft-start kit or a second battery to cover the AC.
- The battery was installed by an out-of-state crew on an exterior south-facing wall, and now the enclosure is baking in Texas heat. Batteries derate in high temperatures. We site them properly on north-facing walls or shaded locations whenever possible, which keeps your warranty intact and your capacity honest.
Pricing for Solar Battery Storage & Backup in Everman, TX
A single battery retrofit like an Enphase IQ Battery 5P typically runs $9,500 to $13,500 in Everman, installed. A Tesla Powerwall 3 lands between $14,000 and $18,500 depending on whether you need the backup gateway rewired or a panel upgrade. If your Everman home has a 60- or 100-amp main panel, expect $3,000 to $5,000 added for the panel and meter-socket upgrade that Oncor requires before interconnection. These are real numbers for this market, not a national average. We quote the year-25 output, not the day-one brochure number. Bring us a bill, we’ll bring you the math. Call (877) 550-6892 for a free estimate. Take two weeks. Think about it. The price will be the same.

FAQs - Solar Battery Storage & Backup in Everman
Most Everman homes built between the 1950s and 1970s still have a 60- or 100-amp main panel, and yes, you’ll typically need a 200-amp upgrade before Oncor will approve your battery interconnection. We identify this on the first visit and include the panel work in your original quote, so there’s no mid-project surprise. Call (877) 550-6892 and Gus will look at your panel personally.
A Tesla Powerwall 3 with its 11.5 kW continuous output will start and run most residential AC compressors in Everman homes, but an Enphase IQ Battery 5P tops out at 7.6 kW and usually can’t start older 3-ton or larger units without a soft-start kit. We’ll tell you in writing what your battery will carry, before you spend a dollar.
Plan on four to eight weeks from permit submission to Oncor’s final meter swap in Everman, and longer if your panel upgrade triggers additional inspection queues. We coordinate all of it: the city permit, the Oncor paperwork, the inspection scheduling. You don’t fill out forms or chase inspectors. Call (877) 550-6892 and we’ll walk you through the timeline for your specific street.
Yes, and we do this regularly in Everman. Whether your original panels came from a national outfit or a local shop, we can retrofit battery storage onto the existing system. The main variable is your panel’s age and whether the inverter needs replacement to talk to the new battery’s charge controller.
Residential battery enclosures like the Tesla Powerwall 3 and Enphase IQ 5P are rated for outdoor installation and built to withstand the kind of impact hail delivers in Everman, but we recommend siting them on a north-facing or shaded wall whenever the footprint allows. Direct sun and heat degrade battery chemistry faster than hail impact, and we’d rather your battery live 15 years instead of 10.
