A useful home backup consult starts before you walk in. If you are visiting Sun Solvers at 3201 Sunrise Ave in Las Vegas, the goal is simple: leave with a clearer map of Anker SOLIX backup and Watchdog panel options for your actual loads—not a stack of generic brochures. This guide lists what to bring so the conversation stays concrete.
You can also call (702) 296-7300 or email curtis@ucclv.com to book the visit. Either way, preparation turns a short meeting into a sizing session you can act on.
Why a consult beats browsing alone
Product pages explain watt-hours and panel ratings. They do not know which circuits you care about when NV Energy blinks, how much mounting space you really have, or whether you want a phased kit versus a fuller first buy. A consult at 3201 Sunrise Ave is where those constraints meet the Anker SOLIX and Watchdog lineup Sun Solvers actually sells.
Bring facts. Guesswork wastes both of your time.
Your critical-load list (even a rough one)
Write down what must stay on during an outage. Examples many Las Vegas homes care about:
- Refrigerator or freezer
- Wi-Fi / modem / phone charging
- Medical devices or CPAP (if relevant)
- A few lights and fans
- Garage door opener or security gear
- Workspace gear if you work from home
You do not need perfect amperage math on day one. Names and approximate run times help. Note anything that is a hard no (whole-house A/C is a different conversation than fridge-plus-network).
If you already own a portable station or generator, bring the model name and what you liked or hated about it. That history often shapes the SOLIX path faster than a blank slate.
Photos and notes about space
Backup storage needs a home. Solar input needs a plane. Phone photos are enough:
- Where you might place a station or dock (garage shelf, patio pad, utility corner)
- Any flat or low-tilt area that could take a Watchdog 550W or 750W panel
- Cable path concerns (distance, doors, weather exposure)
- Shade patterns you already know about (trees, HVAC, neighbors)
Sun Solvers can talk panel fit without a site survey on the first visit, but pictures prevent “hypothetical roof” planning. If you drive an RV or keep gear that might share the same backup story later, say so early so the consult stays honest about scope.
Questions worth writing down
Arrive with a short list. Strong starters:
- How long do I want critical loads to run before I care about recharge?
- Am I starting with storage only, or storage plus Watchdog solar input?
- Is this a one-phase buy or a plan I can expand?
- What does a realistic first kit look like for my list—not a dream whole-home fantasy?
- Who do I contact after the visit if specs change?
You can ask about both Watchdog tiers (550W and 750W HJT) without committing. The consult should help you choose fit, not push wattage for its own sake.
What you do not need to bring
Skip invented budgets you have not decided, competitor quotes you cannot share clearly, or pressure to “decide today.” Skip fake review printouts—Sun Solvers does not use fabricated social proof in planning. Bring curiosity and constraints instead.
If someone else pays or co-owns the decision, bring them or get their priorities in writing. Half-informed consults create half-usable quotes.
How the visit usually flows
Expect a walkthrough of your load list, a look at your photos, and a discussion of Anker SOLIX backup sizing plus whether Watchdog panels belong in phase one. You should leave knowing next steps: more photos, a return visit, or a clear package to consider. Contact after the meeting stays the same: curtis@ucclv.com and (702) 296-7300.
Book your visit or call (702) 296-7300. Tell Sun Solvers you are coming to 3201 Sunrise Ave for a home backup consult, and bring your load list plus space photos so Anker SOLIX and Watchdog options map to your Las Vegas setup—not a generic brochure path. Email curtis@ucclv.com if you prefer to schedule in writing first.
