After recently moving back to the Gulf Coast of Texas, Frank had concerns about the frequent year-round storms they have in the area. With plans for a long-term residence, Frank decided on a system design that would provide more than enough power for his needs, whether the grid was active or not. This included a battery bank that could hold enough in reserve to power the majority of the home at night, and recharge itself daily, which almost eliminated his reliance on his local utility company.
