Backup power refers to alternative power sources used to supply electricity during outages or when the main power supply is unavailable. Common solutions include:
- Portable generators: Fuel-powered units for short-term power needs.
- Standby generators: Permanently installed systems that automatically activate during outages.
- UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): Battery systems for short-term, instant power to protect sensitive electronics.
- Solar power with battery storage: Solar panels paired with batteries for renewable, long-term backup.
- Power banks: Portable, rechargeable batteries for small devices.
- Power stations: Larger battery systems capable of running multiple devices or appliances.
These systems ensure that essential devices and appliances remain functional during power disruptions.
