Frequently Asked Questions
How The Solution Works
How long can a home battery power a house?+
Eos Backup and Battery systems range from 9 to 36 kWh of capacity, providing 8 to 32 hours of backup for essential circuits like lights, fridge, Wi-Fi, and medical devices. Runtime varies based on how many loads are running and which plan you choose.
Does it work during a power outage?+
Yes, the battery system automatically kicks in when the grid goes down, providing seamless backup power to your home with no manual action required.
Will I notice when an outage comes in?+
No. The system switches to battery power in under 20 milliseconds, fast enough that most devices do not register the interruption. The Eos monitoring app sends you a push notification when an outage is detected so you know the system is working.
Is it compatible with solar systems, electric vehicles, or generators?+
Yes, it's designed to integrate with solar panels, can charge electric vehicles, and works alongside generators for maximum flexibility.
What is the average lifespan of a home battery?+
Most home battery systems are designed to last 10-15 years with proper maintenance and usage. Eos systems carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty on battery, controller, and smart panel components.
How long does installation take?+
Typical installation takes 1-2 days, though this can vary based on your specific setup and any necessary electrical upgrades. If permitting is required, add the permit processing timeline to this estimate.

Installation & Setup
Do I need a permit for installation?+
Yes, most home battery installations require an electrical permit from your local jurisdiction. Our team handles all permitting and regulatory requirements as part of the installation process, including coordination with Harris County, Fort Bend County, and Montgomery County permit offices. Typical permit processing takes 1-3 weeks depending on your city.
Can the system be installed outdoors?+
Yes, Sigenergy battery modules are rated for both indoor and outdoor installation. Outdoor units use weather-resistant enclosures rated for Texas heat and humidity. Most installations go in the garage for convenience, but exterior wall installations are fully supported.
