How it works

A battery is only as good as its design and programming.

Every system starts with your goals, your property, how you use power and your utility rate plan. We design around those, install it, then program it to work when it matters.

Rough estimate based on typical average use. We size your real system from your power bills and a site visit. With solar, your battery recharges during the day, so long outages need less storage.

Our story

15 years of advanced technology, now focused on energy.

SHS Power didn't start as a solar company. We started as technology integrators, and that background is why our battery systems are designed and programmed so carefully.

  1. 2011

    Founded

    Started in high-end communication and data solutions, building deep expertise in advanced technology integration.

  2. 2012–2018

    Smart home and AV

    Smart home and audio-video integration, with a strong presence in the CEDIA professional community.

  3. 2017

    The clean energy pivot

    Saw batteries becoming the cornerstone of the electrical future and rebuilt the company around energy storage.

  4. Today

    Energy storage specialists

    Energy storage software integration and decentralized virtual power plants for homes and businesses across Southern California.

Our vision

We believe decentralized virtual power plants will lead California, and the world, through the clean energy transition.

A virtual power plant links many home and business batteries so they can support the grid together when demand peaks. Every system we install is built with that future in mind.

FAQ

Questions we hear most.

Can I add a battery to the solar I already have?

Often, yes. It depends on your existing inverter and panels, so we review your system and your usage before recommending anything.

What happens when the grid goes down?

A backup system keeps your chosen circuits, or the whole home, powered through an outage. What it can run depends on its size, so we start with the loads you care about.

How do SDG&E or San Diego Community Power rates affect my savings?

Your plan decides when power is cheap and when it is expensive. We program the battery to charge when power costs less and cover your home when it costs more.

Do you service systems you did not install?

Yes. We service and optimize existing solar and battery systems, including certified service and programming for Sol-Ark and SunFusion.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We can walk you through financing options when we prepare your quote.

Can you remove and reinstall my panels for a roof project?

Yes. We handle solar panel removal and reinstallation for roofing projects, upgrades and system relocations.

Do you take commercial projects?

Yes, from small commercial systems up to megawatt-scale storage designed to reduce demand charges.
