Battery Backup Solutions for Sedona & Oak Creek Homeowners  

    Planned safety outages are here. Are you ready?

    APS began implementing Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) during periods of elevated wildfire risk in certain parts of Arizona. Solar batteries can help keep your home and essential systems running when utility power is temporarily unavailable.

    Why Sedona & Oak Creek Homeowners Are Exploring Battery Backup

    Northern Arizona’s wildfire conditions and prolonged drought have increased the risk of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) in select APS service areas. Communities near forests and open vegetation — including Sedona and the Village of Oak Creek — may experience planned utility outages during periods of elevated wildfire danger.

    What Can a Battery Backup System Power?

    Depending on system size and home configuration, battery systems may help power your entire home or maintain electricity to critical systems during an outage — including air conditioning, refrigeration, internet and Wi-Fi, lighting, medical devices, garage doors, and well pumps.

    20 Years and Counting — Right Here in Arizona 

    Designing battery systems for Arizona homes is very different from designing systems in many other parts of the country. Arizona homeowners face unique challenges including extreme temperatures, complex utility rate structures, wildfire exposure, high cooling demands — and now, the growing reality of planned outages.

    For more than 20 years, Sun Valley Solar Solutions has helped over 12,000 Arizona homeowners improve energy savings and resilience. Unlike many companies that have come and gone, our systems are designed, installed, and serviced by fully in-house Arizona teams that have been serving local homeowners since 2006.

    Whether you’re exploring battery backup, solar and batteries together, or adding storage to an existing system, our approach always starts with education, transparency, and practical guidance tailored to your home and goals.

    Batteries Can Also Help Reduce Monthly Energy Expenses

    Backup power is only part of the battery story. Whether paired with solar or operating as a stand-alone energy storage system, batteries can help homeowners better manage APS Time-of-Use and demand-based utility rates by storing lower-cost energy and using it during expensive evening peak hours. 

    • Store excess daytime solar production

    • Store lower cost off-peak grid power

    • Offset expensive on-peak hours

    • Provide backup during outages

    Why More Homeowners Are Planning Ahead

    As planned outages, wildfire risks, and extreme weather events become a growing reality across parts of Arizona, more homeowners are exploring battery backup systems for added peace of mind and resiliency. Planning ahead gives homeowners time to thoughtfully evaluate their options before peak summer demand, longer installation timelines, or emergency conditions arrive.

    And while backup power and preparedness are increasingly driving the conversation, many homeowners also appreciate that battery systems can help reduce reliance on expensive peak-hour utility power and lower monthly energy costs over time.

    Prepare Your Home Before the Next APS Outage

    The shutoffs have already started. In April 2026, APS temporarily shut off power to thousands of customers in northern Arizona, marking one of the state’s first strategic PSPS outage events.
