Solar Backup

More and more, the government warns us to prepare for emergencies. We buy flashlights, water and canned food. We hear that back-up generators are available but we can’t always gauge how these generators can help us. There are so many different styles that it is hard to choose what is right for our home or office. Many generators do not have enough power to take care of more than a few critical items such as radios, computer, cell phone charger and possibly the fridge.

Getting your family ready for an emergency situation is a goal that requires planning. A residential solar backup system can do it if the power grid shuts down.

Each family should assess their own threat level for power loss. Factors are based on the climate. Hurricane areas often lose power. This can cause power losses from days to months. Tornados can take out power stations. Ice storms cannot only take down the power grid; they can also leave residents in a dangerous position without heat. Likewise, heavy snowfall or blizzards can take down the power grid.
