As power outages become more frequent, homeowners turn to solar battery backups to ensure their homes remain powered and secure. Make the smart choice for your energy independence and peace of mind.
Homeowners have traditionally relied on backup gas generators to protect against grid outages. However, modern technology has significantly transformed this market, making solar paired with battery backup safer, cleaner, and more reliable.
SMG battery backup operates quietly.
Generators are widely recognized for their high noise levels, reaching up to 85 decibels during operation. This volume is comparable to the sound produced by a lawn mower.
Power outages often bring anxiety, plunging homes into unexpected darkness and uncertainty. In such times, the roar of a generator can add to the chaos, its mechanical growls echoing through the stillness. It's easy to see why these machines can clash with numerous city ordinances, creating a perfect storm of frustration in an already tense situation.
Home battery backup systems operate silently, allowing you to enjoy uninterrupted power without noise disturbances. Unlike traditional generators, which can be loud, these battery storage solutions provide energy to your home without any audible signs of operation, even if you are standing nearby.
SMG Battery Backup uses Clean Energy.
Generators, particularly diesel models, produce emissions such as nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and various hydrocarbons. Propane and natural gas generators are also sources of harmful emissions.
It is widely understood that running a car engine in an enclosed space, like a garage, poses significant health risks, and similarly, having a generator operating close to your home can be equally hazardous.
For example, during Hurricane Helen in 2024, which impacted Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, more fatalities were attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning from generators than to the hurricane itself. This situation highlights a broader issue, as research shows that between 2005 and 2017, approximately 900 deaths and 15,400 hospitalizations were linked to the use of portable generators.
Battery-powered systems produce no emissions and are sealed units, ensuring they pose no health risks to your family. This makes them a safer alternative for backup power.
SMG Battery Backup is Reliable.
One of the most significant advantages of electric vehicles is their reduced maintenance requirements compared to internal combustion engines. Electric vehicles eliminate the need for oil changes.
Similarly, home backup batteries necessitate considerably less maintenance than traditional generators. Generators must be cycled at least once monthly to ensure all internal components are adequately lubricated and functioning correctly. Furthermore, most homeowners engage a technician to conduct an annual generator inspection to ascertain its operational readiness. Indeed, the only scenario that is more undesirable than incurring the cost of a generator is experiencing its failure to operate when it is needed most.
Conversely, battery storage systems demand minimal maintenance. Aside from occasional surface cleaning to maintain their appearance, they do not require regular upkeep throughout their entire service life. Homeowners can be assured that their battery backup systems will remain fully prepared to protect their families at a moment’s notice.
SMG Battery Backup Is Extreme Weather Proof.
In the aftermath of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, or flooding, local utility companies typically initiate the process of shutting off natural gas services.
This measure mitigates the risk of fires resulting from ruptured gas lines. In regions susceptible to earthquakes, such as California, this precaution can significantly undermine the advantages of having a built-in gas generator, as its fuel supply would be immediately interrupted. In contrast, SMG backup systems do not encounter this limitation.
An SMG Can Run Indefinitely.
Portable generators have limitations regarding backup duration, depending on the fuel available. Once the supply of diesel or propane is depleted, the generator ceases to operate, resulting in a loss of power. Natural gas generators supplied via an underground line are an exception to this scenario.
In contrast, when battery storage is integrated with solar panels, the battery has the capacity to operate indefinitely. By aligning household consumption with the solar system's daily output, the solar battery can continuously recharge itself.
This configuration allows for the potential of operating indefinitely without reliance on grid power, which is advantageous not only during power outages but also for long-term savings on grid electricity costs.
An SMG can Save You Money.
A backup generator serves a limited purpose, primarily useful during power outages. Even in the hypothetical scenario of experiencing three complete days without electricity each year, equivalent to 72 hours, this situation represents less than 1% of the time. Consequently, this entails a significant financial investment in a solution that delivers minimal long-term advantages.
In contrast, solar panels coupled with battery systems function throughout the year, providing daily utility and financial savings through load shifting and time-of-use strategies, further lowering electricity expenses. Additionally, solar energy systems remain operational during power outages, ensuring continued coverage when necessary.
SMG Backup Enables Energy Independence.
The prospect of achieving energy independence is appealing to many homeowners. The ability to generate one’s power while minimizing reliance on the electric grid aligns with the American principle of self-sufficiency.
While having a generator may serve as a backup, it does not eliminate dependence on the electric grid for electricity supply. In contrast, integrating solar energy systems with battery storage enables homeowners to generate, store, and utilize their electricity, significantly decreasing their reliance on local utility providers.
Furthermore, the provision of solar energy and battery storage systems can enhance the resilience of the local grid by being fully autonomous.
A mobile solution.
It would be best to avoid any installations within your residence. Installing solar panels poses potential risks to your roof without guarantees of recourse in the event of failure.
Furthermore, the presence of hazardous batteries in your home may endanger your family due to the possibility of self-discharge.
Our SMG represents a mobile solution: you may sell your current property and retain this solution for your new residence or utilize it in locations where it is needed.
More than a solar installation
The efficiency of a solar power system is inherently limited by the occurrence of cloudy days, which can result in reduced energy output.
In such circumstances, the onboard generator will activate to assist in charging the batteries, operating discreetly from evening until morning.
