Free monthly membership

Backup that kicks in automatically
When the grid goes down, your battery takes over instantly. Most members don't even notice.
Extend backup with a generator
The generator plug-in (beta) lets you connect your own portable generator to the battery to extend backup duration.
Farmers uses these home batteries to add capacity during peak demand. When the grid is down, your battery keeps your home powered.


Farmers can draw on the battery to add capacity during high demand hours, which helps reduce outage risk.
