In this video, I talk about the importance of having home backup power in the event you have a power outage in your home that last several days.  This comes at a time where public safety power shutoffs, or PSPS, occur during times of high fire dangers and customers are often left without power, sometimes days at a time.  With new cases of the Coronavirus popping up every day, whose house are you going to stay in when your power goes out?  Staying with friends or with family members can be risky because you stand the risk of spreading the virus or may even get it yourself.

There are several options to chose from when it comes to home backup power, each having their pros and cons.  I go over the standby generator, a home battery and solar panel system, and a portable generator.  What you choose depends on your needs and what you feel are important to you.

If you choose to go with a portable generator, the link below will help you decide what size generator you will need.
