Our region was one of the hardest hit, and many of our neighbors are still struggling to rebuild.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EmPower Solar was among the thousands of homes and businesses that were damaged. Our COO, Greg Sachs, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsday.com\/business\/solar-firm-continues-work-despite-damage-m19871\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stayed at our Island Park office<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the night the storm hit, barricading doors and protecting our space. Ultimately, the offices experienced significant damage and EmPower Solar lost five out of six work trucks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undeterred by the catastrophe, we resolved to help our neighbors build back better and increase their energy resiliency. Adding a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/backup-power-solutions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solar + battery backup system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is one of the best ways to ensure that your home remains powered no matter what.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Building Energy Independence with Solar<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hurricane Sandy took out power lines all across Long Island, leaving homes and businesses without power for days. When you install <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/home-solar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">solar panels on your home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you become less reliant on traditional energy sources. Solar panels absorb the sun&#8217;s energies, and a microinverter converts it into Alternate Current energy that is used to power your home. Solar panels work year round, allowing you to harness the sun&#8217;s rays through all four seasons.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that while solar panels will make your home less reliant on the electrical grid, alone they will not maintain power during an outage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the power goes out in your home, your solar panels will automatically disconnect from the grid to maintain the safety of the utility workers attempting to restore power. Once restored, your system will continue production after a few minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Solar and Backup Batteries: Home Energy Resilience<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Become truly resilient when you pair\u00a0 your home solar system with a backup battery, like the Tesla Powerwall. When the power grid fails, the Tesla Powerwall will detect this and disconnect automatically. Your home will then begin to use energy from the Powerwall. This allows your home to maintain uninterrupted power without worrying about refueling. Energy will be replenished during daylight hours, so you can ensure complete emergency preparedness during blackouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Installing a Powerwall may also affect how <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/how-many-solar-panels-do-you-need\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">large your solar system will need to be<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s important to discuss this during the planning process to make sure your <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/battery-resource-download\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">system is being sized appropriately<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you decide not to install a Powerwall initially, you can also add more panels to your system later on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One Powerwall can provide 13.5 kWh per charge and can power large appliances for short periods of time. You can actively monitor your Powerwalls performance through the Tesla app in real time. Because the Powerwalls storage can be replenished during the day, with active monitoring, your Powerwall can keep your essential appliances powered for a week or more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14232 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.empower-solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-infographs-1024x1024.png?resize=1024%2C1024\" alt=\"Homeowners may choose to install more than one Powerwall based on their energy needs in order to ensure that their home is storm ready.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empower-solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-infographs.png?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empower-solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-infographs.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empower-solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-infographs.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empower-solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-infographs.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/empower-solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Blog-infographs.png?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to traditional gas generators, home solar and battery backup systems offer <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/tesla-powerwalls-vs-gas-generators\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the most cost reliable solution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to maintaining home electricity during power outages like those seen during Hurricane Sandy. Many homeowners choose to install multiple Powerwalls to ensure maximum comfort and value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Powerwalls are extremely quiet, and can be installed indoors in a garage or basement or outside.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Incentives and Savings<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For $0 down, you can see savings on your electricity bill from day one when installing a home solar and battery backup system. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.empower-solar.com\/blog\/what-is-net-metering\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Net metering<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a process during which excess energy your solar system creates is sent back to the grid. This is credited to your account for times when your system is not producing as much or any energy, like at night or on cloudy days. Through net metering, many homeowners see their energy bill reduced to $20, the required grid connection fee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also a number of incentives and rebates available for solar plus storage. After installing solar panels on your home, you will receive a 30 % federal tax rebate and a $5,000 credit from New York State. There is another storage rebate specifically for PSEGLI customers who install backup battery systems, like the Tesla Powerwall. Through NYSERDA, you can receive up to $6,250, or $250 per kWh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Your Next Steps<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EmPower Solar is proud to install Tesla Powerwalls for new and existing clients.
