Which Fortress Power System Is Right for Your Home? A Guide to Residential Energy Storage Packages
When it comes to backup power, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Every home has unique energy needs—from powering a few essential appliances during an outage to running your entire household off-grid. That’s why Fortress Power offers scalable energy storage systems designed to fit your lifestyle, budget, and backup goals.
Whether you’re an installer looking for the right system for your client or a homeowner researching energy storage options, this guide will walk you through three turnkey residential packages offered by Fortress Power. These sample setups are a starting point—your exact solution can be customized by a certified installer based on your home’s electrical loads, solar system size, and desired level of backup.
