Florida’s hurricane season is unpredictable—and often unforgiving. As storms become stronger and more frequent, power outages across the state are increasingly common. For homeowners in Sarasota, Bradenton, and across the Gulf Coast, having a reliable energy solution is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.

That’s where solar and battery storage come in. At Mirasol Solar, we’re helping Florida families stay prepared, protected, and powered up during hurricane season.

Power Outages Are on the Rise in Florida

Between tropical storms, hurricanes, and aging utility infrastructure, Floridians are experiencing more blackouts than ever before. In 2022, Hurricane Ian left more than 2.7 million residents without power. These outages aren’t just inconvenient—they can be dangerous.

Medical devices, refrigeration, air conditioning, and communication systems all depend on consistent electricity. During hurricane season, one cannot always rely on the grid.

How Solar + Battery Storage Keeps You Covered

When the grid goes down, traditional solar systems shut off automatically to protect line workers. But with a battery backup system, your solar panels continue powering your home—even during a blackout.

Here’s how it works:

  • Daytime: Your panels generate electricity and charge your battery.
  • Outage hits: The system automatically switches to battery power.
  • Nighttime: Your stored energy keeps the lights on, the fridge running, and essential devices charged.

For families with young children, elderly parents, or medical needs, that kind of resilience can make all the difference.

The Financial Benefits Add Up Too

Battery storage isn’t just about safety—it’s also smart economics. With Florida’s time-of-use utility plans and net metering, battery-equipped systems help homeowners:

  • Maximize self-consumption
  • Reduce peak-time utility costs
  • Earn credits for excess energy

And best of all? Battery storage installed with your solar system still qualifies for the 30% federal solar tax credit—a benefit that won’t be around forever.
