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.
