Why Tampa homeowners add battery backup

Tampa Bay was on the leading edge of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, and TECO customers across Hillsborough saw extended outages and storm surge.

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 South Tampa, New Tampa, Carrollwood, Westchase and the surrounding TECO service area powered through multi-day storms.

Battery backup questions from Tampa, FL

Can I add battery backup to my existing solar system in Tampa?
Yes. AllSolar Energy adds battery storage to any existing solar system in Tampa and Hillsborough County, regardless of who installed it or which Tampa Electric (TECO) 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 Hillsborough County?
It varies by storm, but Tampa Bay was on the leading edge of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, and TECO customers across Hillsborough saw extended outages and storm surge. 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 Tampa?
Yes. Battery and solar installations are permitted through the Hillsborough County (or Tampa 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 Tampa?
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. Tampa Electric (TECO) does not currently offer a standing residential battery rebate, so also check with them for any current storage program. AllSolar Energy can walk you through your options for your Tampa home — call 866-412-4218.
