Solar & Battery Backup Electrical for Howard homes and businesses

Connecting solar or storage means meeting both the electrical code and your utility's interconnection rules. The main panel has limits on how much power can be fed back into it, so some homes need a panel upgrade or a different connection point. Batteries need careful placement, the right clearances and a decision about which circuits they back up. We work with solar installers who want a local electrician for the tie-in, and directly with Howard homeowners adding a battery or backup to an existing array.

Howard belongs to northeast Wisconsin's string of working towns around the Fox River, Lake Winnebago and Green Bay, with housing that ranges from early-1900s homes to new subdivisions. In Brown County we regularly upgrade older services, rewire two-story homes built before grounding was standard and wire new construction on the edge of town.

Our electricians cover all of Howard plus neighboring Suamico, Hobart and Ashwaubenon for solar electrical work.

Solar & Battery Backup Electrical questions from Howard customers

Will my solar panels work during a power outage?

Not on their own. Grid-tied solar shuts down in an outage for safety. Adding a battery with a backup gateway lets the system keep running your essential loads.

Do I need a panel upgrade for solar in Howard?

Sometimes. It depends on the panel's bus rating, the main breaker and the size of the solar system. We check and explain the options.

Battery or generator: which is better?

A battery is silent, automatic and needs no fuel, but its runtime is limited without solar. A standby generator runs as long as it has fuel. Some homes use both.

Do you install the solar panels themselves?

Our focus is the electrical side: interconnection, service work, batteries and backup panels. We work alongside solar installers on the roof-mounted equipment.
