FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work with my outlet and circuit?
Most homes use a standard outdoor or indoor outlet on a circuit without heavy loads. Load Guard watches your home's use and turns output down to stay within the safe circuit limit. Run our 5-point outlet check before you buy.
Will it save enough to be worth it?
Tell us your bill and we'll show three numbers: conservative, typical and best-case. Savings come from using the power at home during the day.
Where can I put it?
Anywhere with 4+ hours of direct sun near an outlet: balcony, fence, deck, porch, shed or yard. The kit finder asks about your spot and cable run.
Will it run my house in an outage?
Solar alone lowers your bill but doesn't power your home when the grid is down. Add a battery kit to keep essentials like the fridge, lights and Wi-Fi running.
Is it allowed where I live?
Yes. CraftStrom works in all 50 states. Load Guard keeps every watt in your home, so nothing flows back to the grid.
What happens to extra power?
Your home uses solar first. If you're making more than you use, Load Guard turns the panels down, or a battery stores it for later.
What will I pay and when will it arrive?
See your full price, shipping and delivery window before checkout. No surprise accessories.
Can I take it with me?
Yes. It unplugs and moves with you, and it works in all 50 states.
Can I trust the equipment?
UL-certified inverters, NEC compliant, tested by Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and NREL, with warranties of up to 20 years.
What if I get stuck?
Our Houston team can walk you through Load Guard setup or Wi-Fi by appointment, and our FAQ covers the rest. Call (832) 850-3832.
