Do I need batteries?

You can have batteries in your system but you don’t need them for a system to operate. Batteries add complication, expense, and maintenance and unless you have critical loads that you just can’t live without, don’t bother. Most power outages are very short term and the added expense and maintenance of batteries is not warranted. If you are really interested in backup power you might want to consider a generator as an option. We can help you with that.
