Energy Storage in Southern California
Home Battery Backup Systems That Actually Work
A home battery backup system is only as good as the installation behind it. Dutchmen Construction holds a Class C-10 Electrical license, which means every battery system we install meets California code from day one. We handle home backup configurations, off-grid battery setups, and tier shaving solutions that reduce what you pay during peak demand periods. Whether you are pairing a new battery with an existing solar array or starting fresh, our licensed electricians size and install the system correctly the first time. We serve homeowners throughout Hemet, Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Moreno Valley, Lake Elsinore, and surrounding communities in Southern California.
Solar Battery Installation
Pair Your Solar System with the Right Battery Storage
Solar panels generate energy, but a battery is what lets you use that energy on your terms. Our solar battery installation service connects your photovoltaic system to a battery bank that stores excess power for nighttime use, cloudy days, or grid outages. Because Dutchmen Construction holds both a C-39 Roofing license and a C-10 Electrical license, we can manage the full scope of a solar-plus-storage project without handing off work to outside subcontractors. That means fewer coordination gaps, cleaner installations, and a single point of accountability for the entire job. We work with residential clients as well as commercial property managers and agricultural operations across Riverside and Orange Counties.

Battery Storage Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Battery Installation
What types of battery storage systems does Dutchmen Construction install?
Dutchmen Construction installs home backup battery systems, off-grid battery configurations, and tier shaving setups. Home backup systems keep your essential circuits running during a grid outage. Off-grid systems are designed for properties that operate independently from the utility grid, which is common for agricultural and rural clients. Tier shaving systems store energy during low-rate periods and draw from the battery during peak-rate hours, reducing what you pay on your monthly bill. All installations are performed under a Class C-10 Electrical license, California License No. 1070131.Do I need solar panels already installed to add a battery storage system?
No, you do not need an existing solar system to have a battery installed. Batteries can be charged directly from the grid and used for backup power or tier shaving purposes. That said, pairing a battery with a solar array is one of the most effective ways to maximize your energy independence and reduce utility costs. Dutchmen Construction holds both a C-39 Roofing license and a C-10 Electrical license, so if you want to add solar at the same time, the entire project can be managed in-house without coordinating separate contractors.What is tier shaving and how does a battery help with it?
Tier shaving refers to reducing your electricity consumption during peak demand periods when utility rates are highest. A battery storage system charges during off-peak hours when rates are lower, then supplies power to your home or business during peak periods instead of drawing from the grid. Over time, this can meaningfully reduce monthly electricity bills, particularly for properties in Southern California where tiered utility rates apply. It is a practical energy strategy for both residential homeowners and commercial clients with higher energy loads.Does Dutchmen Construction install battery systems for commercial and agricultural properties?
Yes. Dutchmen Construction works with commercial property managers, tenants in leased spaces, and agricultural operations including dairy farms in the San Jacinto and Hemet areas. Agricultural clients often have critical equipment that cannot tolerate power interruptions, making battery backup a practical investment. Commercial clients benefit from systems that reduce peak demand charges and provide continuity during outages. The company holds a Class B General Building Contractor license in addition to its electrical license, which is useful for commercial projects that involve both structural and electrical work.How does Dutchmen Construction ensure a battery installation meets California code?
Dutchmen Construction holds California Contractor License No. 1070131, which includes a Class C-10 Electrical classification. All battery installations are completed in accordance with California building and electrical codes. Permits, inspections, and proper wiring practices are part of every job. President Taylor Boersma has 20 years of hands-on field experience and oversees projects to ensure code compliance is maintained throughout. This protects clients from safety issues and liability problems that can arise from unlicensed or improperly permitted work.Which cities and counties does Dutchmen Construction serve for battery installation?
Dutchmen Construction serves clients throughout Southern California, including Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles, and San Bernardino Counties. Specific cities include Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Hemet, Moreno Valley, Lake Elsinore, Perris, San Jacinto, Redlands, Yucaipa, Banning, Anaheim, Carlsbad, La Costa, Palm Springs, and San Juan Capistrano, among others. The company also serves select areas in Northern California and Maricopa, Arizona.How much does a battery storage installation typically cost?
A straightforward home backup battery system will fall toward the lower end of that range, while larger commercial or agricultural systems with more complex electrical requirements will cost more. Specific pricing depends on the battery capacity needed, the condition of your existing electrical infrastructure, and whether the project is paired with a new solar installation.
Can Dutchmen Construction handle both solar installation and battery storage as one project?
Yes. Because Dutchmen Construction holds a C-39 Roofing license, a C-10 Electrical license, and a Class B General Contractor license, the company can manage solar panel installation and battery storage as a single integrated project. This eliminates the need to hire and coordinate separate contractors for the roofing, solar, and electrical portions of the work. Having one licensed contractor responsible for the full scope reduces the risk of communication gaps and ensures that the solar and battery systems are properly sized and configured to work together from the start.
