Medford at a Glance
Medford’s hot summers place sustained demand on the grid, while winter storms and wildfire-related shutoffs can still cause outages. Solar paired with battery backup allows homeowners to reduce peak utility reliance during high-use months and maintain power when grid disruptions occur—without overbuilding a system beyond what’s practical
Why This Matters
Medford sits at the center of Southern Oregon’s grid, but outages still happen—often during the exact conditions when power matters most. We help homeowners design right-sized solar and battery systems that prioritize essential loads, practical backup duration, and long-term reliability rather than oversized, expensive setups.

We design systems that perform reliably under realistic outage conditions.
Why Solar + Battery Backup Matters in Southern Oregon
Southern Oregon experiences a unique mix of utility strain, wildfire-related disruptions, and rising energy costs. In Medford, where many homes sit between dense neighborhoods and rural edges, solar paired with battery backup offers both daily savings and dependable resilience.
A well-designed system isn’t about leaving the grid—it’s about having options when the grid is unavailable.
Permitting, Installation & Timelines
We manage permitting, inspections, and utility coordination for Medford installations. Homeowners receive clear expectations around timelines, system design constraints, and inspection requirements before work begins.
If you’re early in the research phase, we’ll help determine feasibility first—without pressure to commit.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
In most cases, yes. Standard grid-tied solar systems shut down during outages. Battery backup allows your system to continue powering selected circuits when the grid is offline.
-
Often yes. We can design solar installations to support future battery expansion, depending on electrical service and equipment choices.
