Backup Power in
Standby generators and home battery backup for Sharon, from Lake Massapoag and Moose Hill to the neighborhoods on private wells.
Get a Generator QuoteAlmost a third of Sharon is protected open space, including the 350-acre Lake Massapoag and the 2,250-acre Moose Hill Wildlife Sanctuary. The town's 2025 hazard plan says its tree-lined streets are vulnerable to high winds and ice storms, and that many residents rely on private wells.
Boston Backup Power is a division of Boston Automations in Norwood. We design and install RoseWater Energy systems, Savant Power and Generac and Kohler standby generators, and licensed electricians and gas fitters make the connections.

Storms and outages in Sharon
Snow on December 3, 2019 left about 850 customers without power around Pond Street and Massapoag Avenue.
In the February 2016 storm, tree branches pulled down several wires. 536 homes were out on Saturday afternoon, and 172 were still out midday Sunday. The hazard plan says the town is expanding its tree trimming program because downed trees have caused outages and blocked roads.
Who supplies the power
Eversource supplies Sharon. If a Sharon house adds solar and a battery, Eversource reviews the hookup.
Which system fits a Sharon home?
We install all three, so we can recommend the one that suits the house and the budget.
RoseWater Energy
On a large Sharon lot near the lake or Moose Hill, a RoseWater HUB with a generator behind it keeps the well, the heat and the technology running together.
Whole-home battery backup with zero transfer time and power conditioning, for large homes where nothing can blink. Most projects run $125,000 to $1,000,000.
Savant Power
A Sharon house on a well can put the pump, the heat and the refrigerator on Savant Power Storage and leave the rest off, with a hardwired generator to recharge it.
Relay modules in your existing panel and Savant Power Storage batteries, so you choose which circuits get backup power and see your usage in the Savant app. Modules typically run $2,000 to $10,000, and battery backup $10,000 to more than $100,000.
Where the equipment goes in Sharon
With many Sharon homes on wells, the well pump has to be on the backup plan, and the generator has to handle its starting load.
Houses near Lake Massapoag and the town's wetlands should keep the pad on higher ground. Most other lots have room for a pad that clears windows and doors.
How to start

Questions about backup power in Sharon
Can a generator run our well pump?
Can a generator run our well pump?
Yes, if it is sized for the pump's starting current. We read the pump's nameplate on the site visit and size the generator to start it alongside everything else on the plan.
We live near Lake Massapoag. Where does the generator go?
We live near Lake Massapoag. Where does the generator go?
On the higher side of the lot, clear of windows and doors, and away from any area that floods. Work close to the lake or wetlands may involve the conservation commission.
How long does an install take after the quote?
How long does an install take after the quote?
It depends on permits and equipment availability. We schedule as soon as you approve the quote and the licensed electrician and gas fitter have their permits.
Our street lost power in the December 2019 snow. What would have helped?
Our street lost power in the December 2019 snow. What would have helped?
A standby generator would have started on its own within seconds and run until the lines were fixed. If you also want no gap at all for the network or medical equipment, add a battery in front of it.
Do you work around Moose Hill and the protected land?
Do you work around Moose Hill and the protected land?
Yes. On lots next to conservation land or wetlands, we keep the pad and any fuel tank on the developed part of the property and check whether the conservation commission needs to see the plan.
