Seamless Backup Power Integration: Keep Your Power On When the Grid Goes Down

When the power goes out, will your lights stay on?

For homeowners and businesses in Columbus, Ohio, power outages aren't just inconvenient, they’re a risk to your comfort, safety, and operations. That’s why BC Solar designs systems that do more than generate solar energy. We build full-home and commercial energy systems that seamlessly switch to backup power no flicker, no stress.

Why Seamless Switchover Matters

When a utility outage hits, you don’t want to scramble. You want your home or business to keep running automatically. Our systems use advanced battery inverters (like Sol-Ark) that instantly detect an outage and switch to battery power in less than 10 milliseconds. That’s fast enough to keep:

• Your fridge humming

• Your Wi-Fi uninterrupted

• Your lights and HVAC are running

• Critical equipment online

Whether it’s a 5-second glitch or a 5-day blackout, your system is ready.

How It Works

Our solar + battery systems use:

• Hybrid Inverters that manage grid, solar, and battery power intelligently.

• Smart Batteries that store solar or off-peak grid power for use during outages.

• Automatic Transfer with no user action needed.

Even without solar panels, BC Solar can install battery backup systems that keep your essential loads running. For commercial clients, we also help reduce expensive peak demand charges using battery systems alone.

Designed for Ohio’s Power Grid

Ohio utilities don’t yet offer time-of-use rates like California, but they do charge high fees for peak demand on commercial properties. Our battery-first systems are designed specifically to handle these kinds of charges. They:

• Reduce your peak demand costs.

• Help avoid utility penalties.

• Provide energy resilience during outages.

Honest Advice, Local Service

Brian Zaayer, owner of BC Solar, personally oversees each installation. We don’t push gimmicks or one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether you're a homeowner in Worthington or a business in downtown Columbus, we build what’s right for you, and we’re here when you need us.

FAQs

How fast does the system switch over to backup power?
Most of our inverters switch in under 10 milliseconds. That’s fast enough to keep electronics from rebooting.

Can I get backup power without solar panels?
Yes. We design battery-only systems that charge from the grid. Ideal for commercial clients dealing with peak usage charges.

Will I know the system switched to battery?
Only if you check the app. The transition is instant and silent no flickers, no breakers tripping.

What brands of batteries do you use?
We're battery agnostic. We use Sol-Ark, HomeGrid, EG4, and other systems based on your goals and budget.

When the power goes out, your peace of mind shouldn't.
