Overall not well. System worked fine for MPIs (momentary power interruptions) and outages measured in hours. However after Irma last year, the system failed after less than 18 hours and the solar panels provided to recharge the system were too few to actually recharge the batteries for more than a few hours.
Description of Work: Installation of a battery backup system with portable solar panels to recharge during a power outage.

I LOVE my new integrated Solar Panel/Battery Storage/Mini-Split systems! I contracted Silent Standby Power Supply for 4 projects and they did a great job on all! I am saving approximately 30% on my electric bill but of course, any savings is predicated on usage, how many solar panels, how many batteries and how you set the controls to balance preservation of backup battery power vs. daily usage/drain from the batteries. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!! Here is what they installed: 1. Installed 16 SOLAR PANELS on my roof that supply power to an array of batteries. 2. Installed an ARRAY OF BATTERIES that offload some electric usage (via a controller like a thermostat) but preserve battery charge in case of emergency (power outage, hurricane), when those batteries would go into full use. The batteries are in a nice custom cabinet they built to decoratively conceal them. The batteries are replenished daily by the sun. 3. Installed a separate circuit panel dedicated to the solar/battery system, but also fed by FPL. When FPL quits the circuits on this panel automatically and immediately switch over to the batteries. Once on the batteries, I can selectively shut off circuits in the panel to preserve battery power for my refrigerator and/or mini-split A/C unit, lighting, TV, etc. 4. Installed 3 FABULOUS MINI-SPLIT A/C systems. A mini-split A/C unit is a type of stand-alone A/C unit on the wall (European style), approx 27" wide by 14" high by 8" deep. These A/C units are SO QUIET, it is hard to tell if they are ON !! I have reduced using my central air significantly since I installed the mini-splits in 3 areas of my home that were the most challenging to cool - 2 bedrooms located far away from the A/C handler + my enclosed East facing HOT HOT HOT all glass Florida room! They cool quickly, SILENTLY and have some wonderful features for directional airflow and temperature control. I am very happy with all of it and LOVE the $$savings monthly AND the additional comfort I have in the temperature of the 3 rooms w/ the mini-split A/C units!! I highly recommend them!!!

We purchased a portable solar backup generator to provide electricity to our water heater, portable A/C unit, TV for one room, some fans, lights, refrigerators in the event of an extended power outage. This company was referred to us by some neighbors. Franklin explained everything well and answered all of my many questions. They installed a similar system for another neighbor at the same time as my installation and did a good job keeping me up to date as to their expected arrival times at our job site. The system was installed in the garage in such a manner that it is completely out of the way of the cars. The installation was well thought out and its appearance does not detract from the inside of my well kept garage. The test of the system went well. I hope I never have to use it. But if I do have to use it for an extended power outage, I will update this review.
