Energy Solutions for Western Washington Homes
Solar, battery backup, EV charging, and smart electrical panels — designed to work together, not as separate purchases. One local team handles design, permitting, and installation for all of it.
Energy Solutions at a Glance
Four Systems, One Team
Solar Panels
LiDAR-designed rooftop solar systems sized to your home and your budget, with fixed pricing from design through interconnection.
Battery Backup
Tesla Powerwall 3 and Enphase IQ Battery systems that keep the lights on during an outage and lower peak-rate bills the rest of the year.
EV Charging
Tesla Wall Connector and universal EV charger installation on a dedicated 240V circuit, integrated with your solar system.
Smart Electrical Panels
Real-time circuit monitoring, surge protection, and often a way to add solar, battery, or EV charging without a full service upgrade.
How These Systems Work Together
Solar, storage, EV charging, and your electrical panel aren’t separate purchases — they’re one energy system. Panels generate power during the day; a Tesla Powerwall 3 or Enphase IQ Battery stores what you don’t use immediately, so it’s available at night, during peak rate hours, or when the grid goes down. A Tesla Wall Connector or universal EV charger then draws from that same system to charge your car at home instead of a public station.
A smart electrical panel ties it together and often removes the biggest cost barrier to adding any of the above: an older home’s main service upgrade. By monitoring and load-managing individual circuits, a smart panel can frequently make room for solar, a battery, or an EV charger without the expense of a full panel replacement — which is why Solphos designs all four systems together from the start, not as separate add-ons bolted on over time.
Who These Systems Are For
Homeowners going solar
Start with panels sized to your roof and usage — see the Homeowners Solar page for the full process, financing, and incentives.
Homeowners wanting backup power
Outage protection and peak-rate savings with Tesla Powerwall 3 or Enphase IQ Battery, with or without solar already installed.
EV owners
Home charging that’s faster and cheaper than public stations, installed on its own circuit and ready to pair with solar.
Older-home owners facing a panel limit
A smart panel upgrade can often avoid a costly full electrical service upgrade when adding solar, battery, or EV charging.
Builders
Solar as a WSEC energy credit strategy for new construction — see the Homebuilders page.

Energy Solutions FAQ
Do I need a battery if I already have solar?+
Not necessarily. Most customers use net metering, sending excess power to the grid for bill credits. A battery makes sense if you want backup power during outages or want to maximize self-sufficiency rather than relying on net metering.
Can I add an EV charger and battery to an existing solar system?+
Yes, in most cases. We evaluate your existing inverter and panel capacity first to confirm compatibility, then design the addition to integrate with what’s already installed.
How long does a Tesla Powerwall 3 last during an outage?+
A single Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh) typically powers essential loads for 6 to 12 hours depending on usage, longer if only low-power devices are running. Larger homes or full-home backup may need multiple units.
Does a smart panel replace the need for a service upgrade?+
Often, yes. A smart panel manages circuit-level load so a home can add solar, battery, or EV charging without the cost of a full electrical service upgrade. Whether it fully avoids a service upgrade depends on your home’s existing capacity, which we evaluate during the design phase.
