Back-up Power for Emergency and Essential Power Loads

As we have learned over the years, a well designed stand-alone solar electric system will supply electricity come rain or shine. That kind of independent, or off-grid, system stores energy for nights and cloudy days in a bank of batteries. Houses and businesses which totally rely on the local utility company lose all power during a temporary blackout or when weather or earthquake damage knocks out power lines for days.

In the above picture the Magnum 4400 watt inverter is mounted on a Midnite Solar EPanel and below that is a secure battery box also made by Midnite Solar.

With a Back-up Power System, even when the grid goes down, you can still have power for essential electrical loads -.with or without an alternate source of power. You just charge the batteries with the normal AC current or with other sources, such as solar or wind power generators.  Back-up Power Systems rely on a bank of batteries to store enough energy to power certain appliances and circuits. The kind of Back-up Power System you choose will depend on how you plan to charge your batteries and how much energy you need to store. See diagram of Back-up power components

Try to figure out what outlets, lights and other circuits should be protected from brownouts and blackouts.   The converter (inverter)  equipment we use now allows us to have 110 or 220/240 clean power available from the batteries.

Common sizes using a Magnum Energy’s sine wave inverter that delivers very clean power:
