Battery Backup for Monroeville's Suburban Grid
Monroeville's suburban grid sees localized outages during severe thunderstorms and winter weather events. A battery system stores excess daytime solar for overnight use and takes over automatically when Duquesne Light service drops. We size storage to the household's actual usage so the critical appliances stay running through the outage durations we typically see in this part of Allegheny County.
