4 FAQs about Comparison of a 20kW energy storage cabinet and a traditional generator

Can you use a generator if the power goes out?

When the power goes out, you have two main options for backup power: a traditional generator or a home battery system. Both will keep your lights on and your refrigerator running, but they work very differently. Historically, most people have relied on propane, diesel, and natural gas-powered generators for backup power during outages.

Should you buy a generator or a battery backup system?

Generators are more affordable to purchase but don't offer the same returns as batteries. You can often install a generator yourself, but installing a battery backup system is usually more involved, especially if you pair it with a solar panel system.

Are generators a good backup solution?

Generators require fossil fuels and only benefit you during a power outage. There are two primary reasons that homeowners have historically opted for generators as a backup solution: They cost less upfront and, in the past, they've been easy to find and setup.

Are solar batteries a good alternative to a gas generator?

Solar batteries can be a cost-effective and renewable alternative to a gas generator for backup power. Backup batteries typically have higher upfront costs than generators, but the lifetime savings can offset the upfront payment. You can power solar batteries with the sun and pull energy from them to avoid costly grid electricity.
