Build your system

Energy independence starts here.

We'll recommend the right Pila setup for your home.

Pila Battery System

Step 1 of 4

Where's home?

We'll look up your utility and your area's outage history.

We don't store this data.

We couldn't match that ZIP. You can skip this step.

County figures from public utility and outage records, 2019 to 2024.

Step 2 of 4

Which rooms matter most?

Select all that apply. Each room gets its own Pila.

Kitchen

Fridge, countertop appliances

Home Office

WiFi, laptop, work setup

Living Room

Media console, TV, WiFi, lighting

Bedroom

Air purifier, lights, baby monitor

Garage

Fridge, garage door opener

Each Pila powers its own space. In an outage, your rooms run independently, so you choose exactly what stays on.

Step 3 of 4

Anything else to protect?

For high-draw appliances, it's best to have a dedicated Pila battery.

Window A/C

~6–8 hrs backup per battery

Gas Furnace (120 volt)

~4–12 hrs backup for fan and controls

Sump Pump (120 volt)

~6–12 hrs backup per battery

Aquarium

~80 hrs backup per battery

None of these

I'm covered with my room selections

Step 4 of 4

What matters most to you?

Pila optimizes for your priorities and gets smarter over time.

Automatic backup power

Solar energy optimization

Utility rate & bill optimization

Fridge temperature anomaly detection

Smart home integrations

Simple plug-in setup
