Electricity can go out at any time, there are many reasons why power can go out. Like on hurricanes, rainy and stormy days, trees or power poles can fall. After that, it sometimes takes hours or a few days to fix it. Sometimes powerhouses face some technical problems or high voltage problems. Due to this, there is a risk of burning household electrical appliances and items. Without electricity, our daily activities come to a standstill and our daily routines depend on it. To overcome this problem we need some backup to continue our daily routine.

Alternative Power Sources:

There are many ways to light up our homes when the power goes out. We can light with different power sources, just like:

1. Solar Power System
2. Gasoline Generator
3. Diesel Generator
4. Standby Generator
5. Wind Energy

Solar Power System:

Solar energy is one of the best ways to use power for home and industry. Thus we install solar panel plates on the roof to capture sunlight to generate electricity. We can also connect these panels to batteries to store electricity so that we can use it further. The sun produces radiation, the solar panel converts this radiation into electrical energy through PV (photovoltaic). Their use is very common nowadays. Their use is very common nowadays and very affordable.

Gasoline Generator:

A gasoline generator is also known as an electrical generator that works on gasoline. These generators are also ubiquitous in households and industries. These generators have different types and power as per requirement like 1000w generators, 2000w generators, and 4500w to 10,000w generators.

• We can run laptops, TVs, smartphones, and LED lights on a 1000w generator.
• We can run LED lights, ceiling fans, TVs, laptops, microwave ovens, refrigerators, coffee makers, electric stoves, washing machines, and many more on a 2000w generator.
• We can run lights, bulbs, fans, TVs, laptops, mobile phone chargers, window ACs, freezers, washing machines, dryers, toasters, and many other things on a 10,000w generator.

Diesel Generator:

A diesel generator is a machine that converts diesel fuel into electricity. Diesel generators are used for both backup power and are the main power source. You often don’t see them but most hospitals, schools, clinics, factories, high-rise buildings, and data centers will have at least one installed. When the power fails you may see the lights go off returning shortly afterward when the diesel generator has started to produce power.

Standby Generator:

Home standby generators provide emergency backup power when the grid goes down. The standbys are permanently wired into your home and they’re designed to come on automatically as soon as grid power goes down.  Using a standby generator is a better and safer way to power computers home entertainment equipment and even appliances with sensitive electronic controls the risk of damage from a portable generator. These days are pretty low but the risk is even lower with a standby or an inverter.

Wind Energy:

Wind electric system is one of the best reliable and renewable clean energy sources. If you are planning to install this system, you first need to know the best location and air volume. If you are living on the coast, this powerful energy system is enough for you and your home.
