Natural disasters, aging electrical infrastructure, and accidents attributed to human error are all significant contributors to loss of power to municipalities, residents, and industry. Installing a backup power supply is the obvious answer.
There is more than one option when installing a backup power supply. Solar energy is an expensive solution that requires the use of batteries, converters, and inverters, in addition to any switching devices. Batteries require planned maintenance and power ends when the batteries discharge. However, diesel or natural gas generators offer a long-term solution to power loss.
