Home Battery Backup in Sarasota, Florida

When the grid goes down in Sarasota, a home battery keeps your lights, refrigerator, and essentials running. AllSolar Energy sizes, installs, and permits battery backup for Sarasota County homes — added to any existing solar system or installed battery-only.

Why Sarasota homeowners add battery backup

Sarasota and the Gulf barrier islands were in the Milton landfall zone in 2024, with surge and multi-day FPL outages from Siesta Key to Lakewood Ranch.

Grid-tied solar without a battery shuts off the instant the grid fails — a safety requirement — so it gives you nothing during an outage. Adding a battery changes that: a 16 kWh system runs your essentials for roughly 12–24 hours per charge and recharges from your panels each day the sun is out, keeping Siesta Key, Lakewood Ranch, Venice, Osprey and the surrounding FPL Sarasota service area powered through multi-day storms.

Add to existing solar

Battery backup questions from Sarasota, FL

Can I add battery backup to my existing solar system in Sarasota?
Yes. AllSolar Energy adds battery storage to any existing solar system in Sarasota and Sarasota County, regardless of who installed it or which Florida Power & Light (FPL) rate you are on. We work with EG4, EcoFlow, and Enphase batteries and can also install battery-only backup for homes without solar.
How long do power outages last in Sarasota County?
It varies by storm, but Sarasota and the Gulf barrier islands were in the Milton landfall zone in 2024, with surge and multi-day FPL outages from Siesta Key to Lakewood Ranch. A properly sized home battery keeps your essentials — lights, refrigerator, fans, medical devices, and internet — running for roughly 12 to 24 hours per charge, and recharges from your solar panels each day the sun is out, so it can carry you through a multi-day outage.
Do I need a permit to install a home battery in Sarasota?
Yes. Battery and solar installations are permitted through the Sarasota County (or Sarasota city) building department and inspected for electrical code compliance. AllSolar Energy is a Florida-licensed solar and electrical contractor (CVC056660 / EC13005027) and pulls and closes every permit for you.
Are there incentives for home battery backup near Sarasota?
There may be federal or state incentives for home battery storage, but the rules change and depend on your situation, so we don't give tax advice — talk to your accountant or tax professional about what you qualify for. Florida Power & Light (FPL) does not currently offer a standing residential battery rebate, so also check with them for any current storage program.
