Lightwave Solar’s Starter Packages: Solar-Only & Solar + Back-Up

Published February 24, 2025

LightWave Solar is excited to introduce two basic starter packages! Whether you’re concerned about the weather causing power outages, or simply want to celebrate Earth Month with a new solar electric system, we’re here to get you started!

Introducing a Solar-Only Package that includes a solar system and a Solar + Back-Up Package that includes both solar & a battery back-up system.

The solar only system will help reduce your utility bills, and the solar + battery system will give you peace of mind when the utility power goes out.

Either package is a great way to enter the world of solar power, at a reduced cost.

The solar-only system will offset about $50/month of your electricity bill with renewable energy. The solar + battery system could offset your electricity bill by about $55/month.  Both of these packages are a good “starter” so you can have more solar or battery backup added in the future if you desire.

The Solar + Back-Up Package offers whole-home protection during a grid outage. Simply relying on a whole-home gas generator with its maintenance and fuel availability concerns offers the resiliency and reliability of a Solar + Battery Storage solution.

Don’t settle for unreliable options. Choose peace of mind with one of LightWave Solar’s Starter Packages – an investment in your home’s security and resilience. Book a consultation or call today to learn how easy it is to protect your living space.

What’s Included:

Solar-Only Starter Package:

This comprehensive package includes everything you need to maintain power during outages.

  • 4.98kW of Solar Power 
  • Single array with 12 high-efficiency solar modules and racking 
  • Installation of an inverter that can be upgraded with a Powerwall battery in the future

Solar + Back-Up Starter Package

This comprehensive package includes everything you need to maintain power during outages.

  • 4.98kW of Solar Power 
  • Single array with 12 high-efficiency solar modules and racking 
  • Powerwall 3 for battery backup power including an inverter 
  • Installation of solar, Powerwall 3, & gateway

Durable Design

These starter packages are designed and engineered for durability. The solar + battery option especially will give your home the ability to withstand extreme weather conditions.

If your natural gas line is shut down by the gas company, you no longer have whole-home backup. Having solar + battery will give you your own type of microgrid which will allow you and your family the security of having power when you need it the most. Don’t rely on the utility companies to keep your lights on, the food cold, and your family calm during a storm or power outage.


Why is the Solar + Back-Up a Smarter Choice than a Whole-Home Gas Generator?

Discover the smarter choice for whole-home backup: LightWave’s Solar + Back-Up Package. Why settle for a gas generator with high maintenance costs, a limited warranty, and vulnerability to fuel shortages when you can invest in a system built for the long haul? 

A whole-home gas generator might look cost-effective at first, but after factoring in annual maintenance costs and fuel expenses the total cost skyrockets. These Solar Starter Packages include a 25-year solar warranty, 10-year battery and a 5-year workmanship warranty.  

With a gas generator, power isn’t guaranteed when you need it most. In emergencies, gas lines can be shut off, leaving you without backup when you need it the most. Owning your own microgrid means independence from external fuel sources and the security of knowing your home will stay powered no matter what happens outside.

FAQs

How does the Solar + Battery system work during an outage?
If and when the grid goes down, you won’t need to rely on generators to boot up. Lightwave The Powerwall 3 stores excess energy produced by solar panels during the day, which can then be used to power your home during a grid outage. 

How is the Solar + Battery system different from a gas-powered generator?
Unlike traditional gas generators, the Solar + Battery Back-up requires no fuel or ongoing maintenance. It offers greater reliability since it is powered by solar energy, meaning you can use it even if the gas lines get shut off. 

How long does the system last?
LightWave Solar’s Starter Packages include a 25-year solar warranty and a 5-year workmanship warranty and the package including the battery has a 10-year battery warranty. This system is designed for long-term reliability and can endure extreme weather conditions, ensuring your home is protected for years to come. 

How do I monitor the system’s performance?
Once installed, you can monitor your system’s performance through the Gateway and a mobile app, providing real-time updates on your solar energy production, battery status, and overall power usage.
