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 Port Washington homeowners adding a battery or backup to an existing array.
Across Ozaukee County and the rest of southeastern Wisconsin, storms off Lake Michigan and summer heat both test an electrical system. Air conditioners push old panels to their limit in July, and wind brings down service lines in spring and fall. Our electricians know the mix of older city wiring and newer suburban construction found around Port Washington.
Our electricians cover all of Port Washington plus neighboring Saukville, Grafton and Belgium for solar electrical work.

Common questions about solar electrical work in Port Washington
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.
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 Port Washington?
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.
