Power Outage Ready

A dependable outage plan starts with a simple question: what needs to keep running, and for how long? Build around essential loads first, then add capacity and recharging options as your needs grow.

Household scenario

A regional outage lasts through the night and into the next day. The household wants to keep refrigeration, lighting, phones, internet equipment and a few small appliances available without trying to power everything at once.

Build the plan

  • List essential devices and their running and starting wattage.
  • Choose a realistic runtime target: several hours, overnight or multiple days.
  • Decide how the system will recharge from a wall outlet, solar panels or both.
  • Keep lighting, communications, water access and food refrigeration in the same plan.
