Installing energy storage systems in our region is rarely as simple as installing batteries on garage walls near utility meters. Many houses in coastal areas of Carolina are relatively old and do not have garages, while some newer houses are not designed for first floor installation. In coastal flood prone areas, battery equipment must usually be installed on the second floor to keep it above the flood level. This may mean placing the battery on an elevated platform or in an internal storage room. Although some households already have suitable spaces, installing equipment there and meeting cleaning requirements requires extra caution and precision. Our team works closely with homeowners and local authorities to develop and implement safe and compliant plans.

Not every coastal household requires elevated equipment, and some households do have available garages. Even in this case, external installation may still be the best option. Placing batteries near utility meters is often the most effective and cost-effective solution, depending on the layout of the garage, meters, and distribution panel, which may be the only feasible option. Fortunately, many modern battery systems come with durable casings and warranties, designed specifically for outdoor use and harsh coastal conditions.
