Keep More Control Over Your Home Energy
A backup battery stores electricity so you can use it later, including during a utility outage depending on the system design. When paired with solar, it can also help you use more of the energy your home produces instead of relying on the grid whenever the sun goes down.
Shelter Roofing and Solar installs whole-home battery systems for Thousand Oaks homeowners who want stronger outage preparedness, more control over stored solar energy, or both. We look at household energy use, solar production, and the loads you want to support before recommending a system.

How a Home Solar Battery Backup Works
A home solar battery backup for Los Angeles-area homes stores energy generated by solar panels for use later. During an outage, the battery can support selected areas of the home or broader loads depending on capacity and system configuration.
The right setup starts with priorities. Refrigeration, lighting, internet, home-office equipment, and selected outlets may matter most to one homeowner, while another may want broader coverage. Battery size should reflect how the home actually uses electricity, not simply the largest unit available.
Shelter works with established battery technology, including Enphase and Franklin systems, and can evaluate how storage fits with an existing or planned solar system.
What Affects Solar Battery Backup Cost in LA County?
The solar battery backup cost in LA County depends on the scope of the system rather than one fixed price.
Factors can include battery capacity, number of batteries, desired backup loads, existing solar compatibility, electrical requirements, and installation complexity. A system designed alongside new solar may also have a different scope than one added to an existing setup.
When comparing proposals, look beyond upfront cost. Usable storage, system compatibility, warranty coverage, monitoring, and whether the battery can meet your actual backup goals all affect long-term value.
What to Expect From a Shelter Battery Project
A backup system should be designed around the household before equipment is selected.
1. Review Your Energy and Backup Goals
We discuss outage concerns, solar usage, household demand, and which parts of the home you want supported.
2. Evaluate the Existing System
Shelter reviews your solar and electrical equipment for compatibility.
3. Recommend and Install the System
Battery capacity and configuration are matched to your goals, then integrated with the home’s energy system.
4. Review Operation
After installation, we review how the battery stores energy, provides backup power, and is monitored.

Backup Battery Questions from Thousand Oaks Homeowners
Home battery systems raise practical questions about outage coverage, system sizing, solar compatibility, and long-term value. These answers can help Thousand Oaks homeowners understand what to consider before adding battery storage.
Can a home battery keep my house powered during an outage?
Yes. Backup capability depends on battery capacity, system design, and which household loads you choose to support.
Do I need solar panels to install a battery?
Not always, but batteries are often especially useful when paired with solar because they can store electricity generated by the home.
How many batteries does my home need?
The number depends on household usage, desired backup duration, and which loads you want powered.
Can Shelter add a battery to an existing solar system?
Yes, when the existing equipment is compatible. Shelter can evaluate the system and recommend appropriate storage options.
Does Shelter install whole-home batteries?
Yes. Shelter installs whole-home battery systems and can coordinate them with existing or new solar.
Why use one company for solar and battery storage?
Using one company simplifies system compatibility, installation planning, and accountability when the equipment needs to work together.

I can highly recommend Shelter Solar my recent experience. My system was installed in 2022 and in July of 2025 I had issues with one of the Inverters. Solar Edge would not help and their customer service is nonexistent. Shelter went above … More and beyond what would be expected to help me with the situation. Shelter installed an inverter purchased on line in order to keep my electricity bill back to under $35. Per month. While continuing to try to get SolarEdge to send a replacement inverter. Well after one year Solar Edge finally sent out the replacement. I was complied to send the following email to Shelter Solar these guys stood behind the system and did a great job. If you are interested in Solar check out Shelter Solar.“So I really appreciate you guys getting my solar system back up and working. David did a great job and I appreciate that he made sure everything was working properly including the solar app. Thanks again for sticking with me and getting me back to normal. It took 1 year but that’s Solar Edge problems I will never recommend Solar Edge in the future. I will however have no problem recommending Shelter Solar.Thanks againGary “ - Great service you guys are the best
- Blake came out and did a thorough inspection on my roof, he didn’t pressure me and gave me time to think about it, he helped me understand each option and told me what upgrades weren’t necessary. I got 3 bids and he wasn’t the cheapest … More but I still went with him, once he finished with the roof he came and did a final walk through with me and made sure I was happy before he took my final payment, highly recommend going with Blake and Shelter Roofing. Thank you!
- Blake came out two times to check our attic and roof and gave us good news! No need for a new roof or anything at this time. Highly recommended and honest.
- They are simply the BEST in the town, Hands down. They did incredible job from start to finish. Professional, efficient, and highly recommended!!! Even the owner came to my home to address any concerns that we had. Big special thanks … More to Cesar (Project Manager) and his crew.
- We chose Shelter Roofing and Solar because of a strong referral from a good friend who was super happy with their service. And we were glad we did. This was a large project that included replacing underlayment on a tile roof, which also … More required the removal of 28 solar panels. What made it particularly complicated was that this was a rental property of ours, and we live 350 miles from the property. So our request was that they keep us informed and do a Facetime Call each morning, which they happily agreed to. The Project Manager Ceaser, was excellent to work with, and helped coordinate communication as necessary with the tenants. His team was exceptional and really delivered on a quality job. Even the solar panel removal and reinstallation went pretty smoothly, considering the solar system almost 18 years old. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a quality roof replacement at a fair price.
- Your work and all the personnel I dealt with from your company were exceptional from start to completion. Wonderful working with all of you.Knowing that I needed some work on roof I contacted the company that did a splendid job on the interior … More of my home. The president highly recommended dealing with Jason at Shelter Roofing. From start to finish I could not be happier than I was with my dealings with all the personnel at Shelter and there work was exceptional.
