FAQ

Need Help? RoboMo's Got Answers

What is a home backup power system?

A home backup power system provides electricity during a power cut so selected circuits, appliances or the whole property can keep running.

Can a home battery provide backup power?

Yes. Some home battery systems can provide backup power, but the system must be designed and installed with backup functionality. Not every battery installation includes this by default.

What can a home backup system power during an outage?

This depends on the system design. Some systems support essential circuits such as lighting, internet, refrigeration and heating controls, while larger systems may support more of the home.

How long can a home backup battery last during a power cut?

Runtime depends on battery capacity and how much electricity the home is using. Essential loads can often be supported for longer than whole-home backup.

Can solar panels work during a power cut?

Standard grid-tied solar systems usually shut down during a power cut for safety. Solar can continue operating only if the system includes suitable backup or islanding equipment.

Is a generator or battery better for home backup power?

Batteries are quiet, automatic and suitable for short to medium outages, while generators can support longer outages if fuel is available. The best option depends on the property and backup requirements.
