How Backup Power Works
Modern home battery systems monitor the grid continuously. When a power cut occurs, the system switches to battery power within milliseconds — so seamlessly that most appliances don't even notice the transition. When solar panels are included, the system recharges automatically during daylight hours, providing extended backup capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will a backup battery last during a power cut?
Duration depends on battery capacity and your energy usage. A 10kWh battery typically powers essential home circuits for 12–24 hours. Adding solar extends this indefinitely during daylight.
What appliances can backup power run?
This depends on your system configuration. We can design systems to power specific circuits (lighting, heating, fridge) or your entire home.
How quickly does backup power switch on?
Modern battery systems switch to backup power within milliseconds — fast enough that most appliances continue running without interruption.
