How Much Does Powershare Home Backup Cost
The cost of Powershare Home Backup varies depending on the equipment you need and your current home energy system. In California, incentives may be available to help offset the cost of equipment or installation. Your Certified Installer will be able to give you an accurate quote for your home.
To install Powershare Home Backup, you’ll need to purchase a Powershare Home Backup Bundle. The Powershare Home Backup Bundle includes:
- Powershare Gateway
- Universal Wall Connector
If you already have a Universal Wall Connector, your Certified Installer can purchase a Powershare Gateway separately for a lower price.
To get Powershare Home Backup, your Certified Installer will need to install both a Powershare Gateway and a Universal Wall Connector. Your specific configuration may vary depending on the amount of energy used in your home, the size of your vehicle battery, other home energy equipment on-site and what you want to backup.
The typical installation costs for Powershare Home Backup equipment are:
- Powershare Gateway: $1,800 – $2,100
- Universal Wall Connector: $600 – $900
If you are swapping the Universal Wall Connector with an existing home charger, your installation cost may be lower. Ask your Certified Installer for a price quote specific to your home.
Most jurisdictions require permits for Powershare Home Backup equipment installations. Some jurisdictions require on-site inspections as part of the permitting process. Permit requirements and fees can vary widely from place to place. Contact your Certified Installer for more information.
In some cases, additional work is required to install Powershare Home Backup in a home. These factors can increase installation complexity and cause quotes to rise above the average cost.
In California, incentives are currently available to help offset the cost of equipment or installation.
