Built for South Florida’s outage risk
Boca Raton sits in a high hurricane-exposure zone, and its roughly 97,400 residents rely on FPL for power across a coastline that regularly sees named-storm impacts, brownouts, and thunderstorm-driven outages between June and November. Battery storage turns an outage from an emergency into a non-event.
Storm-season backup
Keep refrigeration, medical equipment, well pumps, and lighting running through multi-day outages without running a generator.
FPL rate protection
At roughly 14.5¢/kWh, shifting stored energy into peak hours reduces what you pull from the grid when rates and demand are highest.
Solar pairing ready
Boca Raton gets about 5.6 peak sun hours a day on average — plenty to recharge a battery daily when paired with rooftop solar.
Equipment we install in Boca Raton
We install FranklinWH and Enphase IQ battery platforms, both UL-listed and built for Florida’s heat and humidity. FranklinWH pairs a single high-capacity battery with an integrated smart panel that automatically manages which circuits stay powered during an outage, so you don’t have to manually shed load when the grid drops. Enphase IQ batteries are modular instead, meaning a Boca Raton home can start with one or two units sized to essential circuits and add capacity later as budget or needs change, without replacing the original hardware.
Every system we design includes real-time monitoring through the manufacturer’s app, so you can see exactly how much stored capacity you have during a storm and how the system is discharging. Systems can be configured for whole-home backup — running the entire house, including air conditioning — or a smaller essential-circuits configuration covering refrigeration, lighting, and communications, depending on your electrical panel condition and budget.
How the installation works, step by step
We start with a property evaluation that looks at your existing electrical panel, roof condition if solar is involved, and which circuits you want protected during an outage. From there we design a system, walk you through FranklinWH versus Enphase IQ tradeoffs, and submit the permit package to the City of Boca Raton. Once the permit is issued, installation of a standalone battery typically takes a single day for the electrical and battery work; a combined solar-plus-battery system takes longer since panels, racking, and the FPL interconnection application are added to the timeline.
After installation, the city performs a final inspection before the system is energized, and our team walks you through the monitoring app and manual backup controls before we consider the job complete. We also register the system’s warranty directly with the manufacturer on your behalf.
What the City of Boca Raton requires
Battery storage installations in Boca Raton are permitted through the City of Boca Raton Building Department.
Electrical permit
Required for the battery, inverter, and any panel upgrade work, whether or not solar is involved.
Fire & life-safety review
Battery placement (garage, exterior wall, or utility area) is reviewed for clearance and ventilation requirements.
Final inspection
A city inspector signs off before the system is energized and connected to your home’s panel.
What a Boca Raton battery system costs
Pricing depends on capacity, whether it’s paired with solar, and your home’s electrical panel condition.
Standalone battery
Sized to essential circuits only — the lowest-cost way to add outage protection without a full solar installation.
Solar + battery
Bundling storage with a new solar system is typically the best value per dollar of resilience, since both share design, permitting, and labor.
Financing available
We work with financing partners offering fixed monthly plans so a battery system fits typical household budgets without a large upfront payment.
Battery storage vs. a gas generator
Portable and standby generators are still common in Palm Beach County, but they come with tradeoffs a battery system avoids: fuel has to be stored or sourced during a storm, when Boca Raton gas stations frequently run dry in the days after a hurricane makes landfall; they’re loud enough to draw attention in a quiet neighborhood; and they require manual startup or a separately installed automatic transfer switch. A battery system starts instantly with no fuel to manage, runs silently, and — if paired with solar — can recharge itself during an extended multi-day outage instead of running down permanently.
Serving Boca Raton and nearby Palm Beach County
Our Boca Raton battery storage installations are handled by the same RE-CHECK certified crew that services West Palm Beach, Boynton Beach, and Delray Beach — so scheduling, warranty support, and service calls stay local to Palm Beach County rather than routing through a call center. If you’re just outside Boca Raton city limits, we still cover your address; use the quote form above and we’ll confirm service availability for your ZIP code.
Warranty and maintenance
FranklinWH and Enphase IQ battery systems both carry manufacturer warranties covering the battery hardware and inverter for a minimum of 10 years, and we register that warranty on your behalf at the time of installation. Florida’s humidity and heat are accounted for in both platforms’ enclosure ratings, so outdoor or garage placement is standard for Boca Raton installs. Maintenance is minimal — no fuel, filters, or oil changes like a generator requires — though we recommend an annual system check as part of your service plan to confirm firmware is current and connections remain corrosion-free in the coastal air.
If you already have solar installed on your Boca Raton home, adding battery storage later is usually straightforward as long as your existing inverter is battery-ready or can be paired with an AC-coupled battery. We’ll evaluate your current system during the free quote and tell you plainly whether an add-on battery makes sense or whether an inverter swap would serve you better long-term.
Battery storage questions, answered
Can I add battery storage to my Boca Raton home without solar panels?
Yes. A standalone FranklinWH or Enphase IQ battery can be installed on an existing Boca Raton home to provide backup power during outages, even without solar. Pairing it with a rooftop solar system typically shortens the payback period since the battery can also store excess daytime production instead of exporting it to FPL.
How long can a home battery power a house in Boca Raton during a hurricane-season outage?
Runtime depends on the battery size and which circuits are connected. A whole-home Enphase or FranklinWH system sized for a typical Boca Raton household can usually carry essential circuits (refrigeration, well or sump pumps, medical equipment, lighting, Wi-Fi) for a full multi-day outage, and a full whole-home configuration can run most of the house depending on capacity.
Does the City of Boca Raton require a permit for battery storage installation?
Yes. Battery storage systems are permitted through the City of Boca Raton Building Department alongside any associated electrical and, if applicable, solar permits. Our team pulls and manages these permits as part of every installation, including any required fire and life-safety review for battery placement.
What’s the difference between the FranklinWH and Enphase IQ battery systems you install?
Both are code-compliant, UL-listed battery platforms suited to Florida’s climate. FranklinWH is built around a single larger battery unit with integrated smart-panel load management, while Enphase IQ batteries are modular, allowing capacity to be added in smaller increments over time. We recommend the platform based on your home’s electrical panel, roof, and budget.
Will battery storage lower my FPL bill in Boca Raton?
It can, primarily by shifting stored energy into use during FPL’s time-of-use peak periods and by reducing how much power you pull from the grid during high-rate hours. The bigger, more immediate value for most Boca Raton homeowners is resilience: keeping the home powered when the grid goes down, which happens more often here given the area’s hurricane and severe-thunderstorm exposure.
Is battery storage better than a gas generator for a Boca Raton home?
They solve the same problem differently. A generator needs fuel on hand, produces noise and exhaust, and requires manual or auto-transfer switch setup, while a battery system is silent, starts instantly with no fuel to store, and can be recharged by solar during an extended outage. Many Boca Raton homeowners choose battery storage specifically because Palm Beach County gas stations can run dry in the days after a major storm.
How much roof or yard space does a battery system need in Boca Raton?
None on the roof — batteries mount on an exterior wall, in a garage, or on a small pad next to your electrical panel, similar in footprint to a water heater. This makes battery storage a realistic retrofit even on Boca Raton homes with older roofs that aren’t ready for solar yet, since the battery installation itself doesn’t depend on roof condition.
