Is $18,000 to install a generac pwrcell battery system a fair price?
Project Details
I have a small house and already have solar panels, but they shut down when the grid goes out. I want a battery to keep essentials like the fridge, freezer, furnace, and lights running during an outage. I am not comfortable doing electrical work myself.
