Battery Bank

The battery bank stores the energy for use during an outage. The size of the battery bank determines how long you can run your appliances during a power outage without recharging.

Inverter System

The inverter system is the electronic part that makes household AC power from the DC power stored in the batteries. It also works in reverse as a battery charger. The size of the inverter determines how many appliances you can have on at one time.

Electric Panel

This is the circuit breaker box that every home and business uses to distribute power to its appliances.

Main Electric Panel

The main electric panel or existing panel is the circuit breaker box you currently have installed in your home or business. Large loads that you do not want to power stay in this electric panel.

Sub Electric Panel

The sub panel is a new electric panel that your system installer will add to your home or business. All of the critical loads that the Backup Electric System will support during an outage will be moved from the existing electric panel to this new electric panel.

Optional Generator

The generator produces electricity from fuel. Unlike batteries, which store only a fixed amount of energy, a generator can produce power as long as it is supplied with fuel. A generator can be used with a Backup Electric System to recharge the batteries. By having both a Backup Electric System and a generator working together you can save up to 45% of the fuel needed to power the generator and extend the operation of the battery system.
