Home Battery Backup: frequently asked questions
These answers are general. For your situation, check the official sources listed below or ask a professional.
How long can a battery power my home?
It depends on its capacity and what is running; essentials can often run much longer than a whole home.
Do I need solar?
No, but solar lets the battery recharge during a long outage.
Battery or generator?
Batteries are silent and need no fuel; generators run as long as they have fuel. Some homes combine both.
