Welcome to Peninsula Solar!
Peninsula Solar is a reputable Michigan-born solar company built by people who genuinely care about helping homeowners, businesses, and industrial gain control over their energy. Since 2011, we have designed and installed hundreds of custom solar and battery systems built for the way people in Northern Michigan actually live and operate.
Our systems provide energy autonomy, backup during outages, smarter energy management, and cost exposure mitigation against rising utility rates. With storage and off-peak energy purchasing, we help you save money while protecting your home or business with true grid power outage protection.
At the end of the day, we believe energy should be owned, not rented. Solar should be straightforward, dependable, and designed for life in the North.
Own your energy. Secure your future.
Energy Autonomy
The system provides true energy autonomy, allowing the homeowner to produce, store, and consume electricity independently, while also operating seamlessly in conjunction with traditional power sources such as the electrical grid. This flexible design ensures reliable energy availability under normal conditions and during grid interruptions.
Cost Exposure Mitigation
By making a one-time investment in a modern and reliable solar photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system (ESS), the homeowner can significantly reduce long-term exposure to rising and unpredictable utility energy costs. On-site energy production and storage help stabilize energy expenses and reduce reliance on utility-supplied power over the life of the system.
Off-Peak Energy Purchasing
The system can be programmed to charge the battery system from the electrical grid during off-peak periods when energy prices are lower—typically overnight—and use that stored energy during higher-cost daytime periods. Time-of-use rate structures are becoming increasingly common across utility markets, making this capability a valuable tool for long-term energy cost control.
Energy Management
Homeowners have the ability to monitor real-time energy production and consumption through an integrated energy management platform. The system can intelligently prioritize specific electrical loads based on user preferences, grid availability, or time-of-use utility rate structures, optimizing both performance and cost savings.
Grid Power Outage Protection
In the event of a utility power outage, the residence will continue to operate independently using on-site solar generation and battery storage. The PV system can supply household loads directly while simultaneously charging modern Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery modules. During extended periods of low solar production, an automatic backup generator can operate as needed to recharge the batteries. Once battery levels are restored, the generator shuts off, allowing the home to operate quietly for extended periods using stored energy and available solar power.
Example of Peninsula Solar's Pre-Design
At Peninsula Solar, every project starts with good design. We don't believe in "one-size-fits-all" solar. Instead, we spend time engineering systems that make sense for your home, loads, and long-term goals. That means matching the right inverters, battery storage, transfer switches, service panels, and wiring layouts so everything works seamlessly, both today and in the future.
Thoughtful design leads to better performance, cleaner installs, and systems that are easier to service. It's a difference you can't always see at a glance, but you'll appreciate for years.
