Calculate Your Perfect System Size

Too small: Runs out quickly. Too large: Wasted money. Get it right.

Step 1: Measure Daily Usage

Check your electric bill for average kWh/day. Example: 30 kWh/day = 30 kW system

Step 2: Identify Critical Loads

• Heating/AC: 5-15 kW
• Refrigeration: 1-2 kW
• Lighting & outlets: 2-5 kW
• Medical equipment: 0.5-2 kW

Step 3: Choose Duration

• 1-day backup: 30-50 kWh system
• 3-day backup: 90-150 kWh system
• 24/7 with solar: Match daily usage

Why Solar Without Battery Storage is Incomplete

Solar alone leaves you vulnerable during outages. Here’s why you need both:

Solar Only Problems

• No power at night
• No power during outages (even with sunny weather)
• Grid-dependent
• Limited self-consumption savings

Solar + Battery Solution

• 24/7 power generation & storage
• Automatic backup during outages
• True grid independence
• Maximize self-consumption (80%+ vs 30%)
• Lowest lifetime energy costs

Planning to go solar? Add battery storage from day one. Front Range Backup Power designs complete systems.

Portable Power vs Whole-Home Systems: Which is Right?

Portable Power Cells

• Cost: $3,000-8,000
• Portability: Excellent
• Coverage: Single room/small area
• Scalability: Limited
• Best for: Camping, RVs, emergency backup

Whole-Home Battery Systems

• Cost: $15,000-25,000
• Portability: None (installed)
• Coverage: Entire home
• Scalability: Expandable
• Best for: Complete home protection, solar integration, long-term energy independence

Most Colorado homeowners benefit from whole-home systems. Get professional guidance for your situation.
