Homeowner Stories
What’s worse than a pandemic forcing everyone to work and do schooling from home? Losing power for 40 hours in the middle of it, that’s what! In modern times electricity is essential. It not only provides lighting and keeps our food from spoiling, but it also provides the all important and increasingly essential, internet. If you cannot rely on power you are not able to function in our pandemic world.
With 2 kids at home working on school and working out of a home office the extended power outage of 40 hours meant no hot showers, no internet, and some very cranky family members. This dad decided this was the last straw and he researched battery backup with Blossom’s friendly sales team. After isolating the key items in the home that required power in a grid outage this customer can now keep the lights on, internet humming, hot water, and open his garage door.
As the wind howls and we head into winter this homeowner is excited when he sees high wind reports. Bring it on. With Enphase battery, the lights aren’t going out and he might just get a vote for “Dad of the year”.
Living on the east side of the mountains outside of town there is not a lot folks rely on other than themselves, rising taxes, and power from the utility. The bill constantly goes up and power outages are just part of life. There are so many things that are uncontrollable right now in our current landscape, but what if power did not have to be one?
This homeowner said enough is enough and starting planning towards a long term goal of off grid living. After chatting with a friendly and knowledgeable Blossom sales team the framework for this goal has been set in the ground, literally.
With 2 ground mounts ideally angled to maximize power for his individual location and bank of batteries in his lovingly termed “power shed” this home owner is ready for his next 5 day power outage. Flipping over to auxiliary power no longer requires a trip out to the breaker to turn his generator on, it happens in microseconds with Enphase Ensemble battery backup. He took control of his power, why don’t you?
Working from home is most people’s new ‘normal’ and this young couple that reached out to the Blossom Solar team was no exception. Not only did this customer have to work from home due to the pandemic, he actually found that him and his wife enjoyed it so much they plan to work remote even after the pandemic is over!
Living in Eastern Washington they experienced frequent windstorms which cause trees and destruction around the whole city. This ultimately led to unreliable internet and power in their home. It wasn’t realistic for them to keep up with their consistent work hours when events were constantly leading to them losing power.
They decided to take the initiative and find a long-term solution as they planned to work from home for a while. The home battery was a great way to begin the off-grid living lifestyle and also give them peace of mind when any storm or obstacle should occur.
