the essential home emergency safety backup solution you need during power outage

Examples of Power Outages Caused by Disasters

Storms

Crisis

Extreme Heatwaves

Flooding

Hurricane

Storm Darragh is an active extratropical cyclone currently affecting the British Isles. Storm Darragh is described as one of the worst storms in recent years, around 57,000 homes and businesses in Wales remain without power following the impact of Storm Darragh, which brought winds up to 94mph.
Europe is currently facing complex economic and geopolitical challenges, and these destabilizing factors have affected inter-state relations and energy supply. Regions that rely on transnational energy sources such as gas and electricity are particularly vulnerable, and any disruptions may have a knock-on effect on power supply.
The 21st century has been the hottest on record, and in July 2022, the UK faced a national emergency due to the Met Office issuing its first-ever red warning for extreme heat. Thousands of people are without power after "extreme" temperatures caused equipment to overheat.
Power cuts caused by flooding are a major danger to people’s lives and “could happen anywhere” because infrastructure such as electricity grids and communications networks are not adequately protected against the threat.
During the autumn of 2017, Ireland and the United Kingdom were hit by Hurricane Ophelia, which had completed its transition into an extratropical cyclone shortly before its landfall in Ireland and subjected the island to hurricane-force winds. Three people were killed by fallen trees in Ireland and 22,000 people were left without electricity.
Your Dependable Solar Power Choice
  • What is the most difficult thing during a power outage?

    Electrical Hazards
    During power outages, risks such as electrical fires and electrocution increase as malfunctioning appliances and systems pose safety threats.

    Security Vulnerabilities
    Home security systems may be compromised, leaving properties more exposed to intruders, especially in the absence of lighting or surveillance.

    Food Spoilage
    Refrigerators and freezers lose power, leading to the quick spoilage of perishable food, causing waste and financial loss.

    Health Risks
    Power outages threaten individuals relying on electric-powered medical devices, endangering their health.

    Home Damage
    Without power, sump pumps may fail, causing flooding, and HVAC systems may stop regulating temperatures, leading to frozen pipes or mold growth.

  • Are there any safety precautions I should follow?

    Yes, there are several important safety precautions to follow during a power outage:

    1. Unplug electronics to prevent damage from power surges when the electricity returns.
    2. Avoid using candles for light; use flashlights instead to prevent fire hazards.
    3. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to preserve food as long as possible.
    4. Check on vulnerable people, such as the elderly or those with medical devices.

    However, If you have a home backup generator during a power outage, it can provide a crucial source of backup power. Keep essential devices running: You can use it to power lights, charge phones, refrigerators, coffee makers, etc.

  • Types of home backup generators

    Solar Generator: These portable and highly efficient home backup generators run on clean, renewable sun's energy. It's the best generator for indoor use because there are no harmful emissions.

    Diesel Generator: Gas or diesel generators, in particular, are very noisy and emit dangerous fumes like carbon monoxide while working.

    Inverter Generator: Inverter generators are smaller and quieter, offering high efficiency and longer run times. They are particularly suitable for powering sensitive electronics like laptops and televisions.

  • What factors should you consider when selecting a home backup solar generator?

    Power Output: Determine the wattage you need to power your essential appliances. Look for a generator that can handle the total wattage of the devices you plan to use during an outage.

    Battery Capacity: Check the generator's battery capacity, usually measured in amp-hours (Ah) or watt-hours (Wh). A higher capacity means longer run times for your devices.

    Portability: Consider the size and weight of the generator, especially if you plan to move it around. Look for features like wheels or handles for easier transport.

    Run Time: Evaluate how long the generator can run on a full charge and how quickly it can recharge, especially if you anticipate needing power for extended periods.

    Durability and Weather Resistance: Consider the build quality and whether the generator is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, including rain and dust.

  • How do you install a home backup solar generator?

    1. Connect the solar panel output cable to the input port on the Jackery solar generator. Make sure the connection is secure.

    2. Turn on the Jackery solar generator by pressing the power button. The display will show the battery level and input/output status. If the solar panels are connected correctly and receiving sunlight, you should see the input wattage on the display.

    3. Once the generator is charged, you can connect your devices using the AC outlets, USB ports, or DC carport, depending on your needs. Make sure the total wattage of the devices does not exceed the generator's output capacity.

    4. Keep an eye on the battery level and output wattage while using your devices. This will help you manage power consumption effectively.
