(BPT) - It's a scorching summer weekend, but the heat wave hasn't stopped you from gathering outdoors for a good old-fashioned cookout with friends and family. You're busy searing meats and veggies on your electric grill while your guests dance to the sounds of the summer pumping from the speaker system. The heat doesn't bother them. They're protected by the shade and cooled by the outdoor fans you've set up for the occasion.
Indoors, your spouse is busy in their home office, fingers flying over the keyboard as they finish up a work assignment before they grab the sides and extra beverages and join the festivities outdoors. By their feet is the family's canine companion, enjoying the AC that's on full blast 24/7.
All in all, it's a normal summer … until it's not.
Suddenly, the grill sizzles out, the music cuts and the fans slow. Indoors, the computer monitor goes black, the refrigerator stops humming and the AC stills. The grid is out and your weekend just got a whole lot more complicated.
But what if you could keep the party going, work connected and air conditioning pumping? To keep your summer normal, even during abnormal situations, it's time to consider a home backup power solution.
Powering nonstop summer fun
Whether you call them portable power stations, solar generators or home batteries, home backup power solutions are for more than just emergencies. These reliable portable solar power systems can ensure that your life continues as planned even when the rest of the neighborhood goes dark.
For example, your cookout can keep going uninterrupted by powering all your outdoor appliances and electronics with the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus. This portable solar generator features built-in wheels and telescoping handles, making it easy to roll between rooms, move indoors or transport to wherever power is needed. It's even Manual Transfer Switch capable. All the benefits and more of a gas generator with none of the downsides.
You won't even notice that the power has blinked out. You're too busy serving food hot off the grill while your friends and family enjoy your summer playlist with cold drinks in their hands, cooled by the breeze of the fans.
Indoors, your spouse can keep working uninterrupted because the monitor, desktop, modem and router are all connected to the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2. Thanks to its 1500W output and built-in 3kV surge protection, you can be sure that you never lose connection while working on an important assignment or running an AI assistant. You can even run a laptop for up to 57 hours on one charge.
If the blackout persists through Monday, you won't have to worry about the food in the fridge spoiling. A power station like the Jackery HomePower 2000 Plus v2 can power a fridge for 48 hours. When you need more power, hook up the station to portable solar panels, where it can fully recharge in about three hours.
During a heat wave, you won't have to worry about your home becoming a sauna. By connecting a whole-home battery system like the Jackery Solar Generator 5000 Plus and a Smart Transfer Switch, you can rest easy knowing that you can keep the indoors cool during the hottest parts of summer.
This simple and affordable installation in comparison to permanently installed, grid-tied systems, ensures that when the power goes out, the home backup battery will automatically kick in, maintaining your house as usual: cool, lit, and keeping your refrigerator and electronics running. When you need to recharge the Solar Generator 5000 Plus, you'll have eight methods to choose from, including high-voltage solar charging from an existing rooftop solar panel ecosystem.
If you're away from home when the power goes out, no worries. Using the Jackery App, you can monitor your whole-home power usage, so you won't have to worry about your beloved pet having to weather the stifling heat when you're away from home. And you can continue monitoring them through your pet camera.
Enjoy summer uninterrupted
