Generators consume fuel, adding a continuous running cost but solar costs nothing to run. Generators also need to be serviced regularly, whereas a well-designed solar system should work autonomously. The solar regulator will take care of the battery, and a deep-cycle battery is fully sealed and maintenance free.

More now than ever before, landowners are looking for backup battery storage solutions as compared to generators. This is particularly true in Pakistan, where planned shutoffs by utilities to manage the supply of electricity have affected tens of thousands of people and businesses. In the past, homeowners have looked to backup generators to protect themselves against grid outages. These days, however, modern technology has essentially evolved this marketplace, and solar-paired batteries offer a far superior substitute to home backup than generators do.
QUIET FUNCTION If you’ve a generator, you know that they are horribly noisy. The sound is persistent through the full extent that the generator is running – meaning as long as your power outage continues. By comparison, batteries are totally soundless. You wouldn’t be able to tell that your battery storage system was running your home if you were standing right next to it. Your family – and your neighbors – will thank you for keeping getting rid of the noise and bringing the peace.
CLEAN ENERGY Diesel generators discharge nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and other hydrocarbons. Propane and natural gas generators release hazardous emissions as well. We all know how unsafe it would be to latch yourself or your family in your garage with your car engine running, so the thought of generator emanations in your home should be likewise unpleasant. In fact, generator emanations can be so precarious that carbon monoxide intoxication from utilizing generators can kill more people than natural calamities. Batteries do not emit toxicants of any kind. They’re entirely airtight and will have no adverse influences on your family’s health.
SMALLER SIZE While some moveable generators can be quite small, built-in generators – which closely match the competences of home batteries – lodge a large footmark and can take up valued space in your lawn. If you install one of these generators, you’ll probably also need to build a considerable concrete pad to house it. Backup battery storage, in comparison, is wall-mounted and does not necessitate any building work. Batteries only stand a few inches away from the wall and can sit securely alongside your solar equipment, etc.
INSTANT OPERATION Even the best generators in the market have to turned on and may take a few seconds to power the house in the event of an outage. If you have a smaller moveable generator that needs to be turned on manually, the outage can last minutes. By difference, circuits backup up by a solar battery are instantly powered by the battery in an outage. The batteries turn on in a fraction of a second.
INCREASED RELIABILITY Batteries need a lot less upkeep than generators. Typically, generators require to ensure at least once per month that all the inner machineries are oiled and functioning appropriately. Most homeowners will also employ a mechanic to examine the generator every year to ensure it’s in upright operational order. After all, the only thing worse than paying for a generator is having it fail to turn on when you need it the most. Battery storage, on the other hand, needs no upkeep of any kind. Other than an sporadic exterior scrubbing to keep the battery clean, it will not have need of any consistent care through its whole service life.
SAVES YOU MONEY A backup generator is useful to you only when you have a power outage. Even if we assume that you have three full days without power every year. That means you’re spending thousands of dollars for a solution that provides extremely limited benefit from a long-term perspective. Solar panels and battery systems, however, operate every single day of the year and will save you money through load shifting and time of use savings, further Reducing Your Electricity Bill. Oh, and when you do lose power, they still have you covered.
MAKES YOU ENERGY INDEPENDENT Most homeowners are appealed by the concept of becoming energy independent. Generating your own electricity while dropping reliance on the electric grid charms to the ideal of self-reliance. While generators leave you wholly dependent on the electric grid for your power, the arrangement of solar and battery backup permits you to generate, stock, and use your own electricity, intensely dropping your reliance on the local utility.
FINAL NOTE The benefits that battery backup bids over generators are many. Homeowners will more and more look to batteries rather than generators to come across their backup requirements. And for the greater good of communal well-being and fighting environment change, that’s something we can all celebrate.
