The Home Backup

Buy the machine that matches the load.

Four products. One job: keep a house useful when the utility does not. Start with the circuit list, then pick a station, a battery, a panel, or a pad generator.

We do not cover rooftop solar or Tesla Powerwall. Featured carts are Jackery, BLUETTI, and Anker SOLIX. Photos on named SKUs are the manufacturers’ own.

Silos

Pick the job, then the aisle

Beige standby generator on a wet concrete pad beside white house siding, with conduit running to a junction box. — Silo 1 · Pad plant

Whole-house generators

Automatic standby on propane or natural gas. Install usually costs more than the unit.

Wall-mounted home battery cabinet in a basement utility room next to an open breaker panel and a water heater. — Silo 2 · Battery cabinet

Home batteries

Expandable kits that can feed an inlet. Not a Powerwall.

Kitchen at night: a portable power station on the counter with its display on, a cable running to a refrigerator, lantern on the table. — Silo 3 · Carry-in station

Portable power stations

Jackery, BLUETTI, Anker SOLIX. First buy for a fridge and Wi-Fi.

Portable solar panels

Folding and briefcase panels that plug into a station. No roof rails.

Affiliate hops are placeholders: /go/jackery, /go/bluetti, /go/anker-solix. Manufacturer homepages until real click IDs are pasted.

Out of scope

Rooftop solar, solar installers, net metering, Tesla Powerwall. EcoFlow is not a featured partner (short cookie window). Jackery, BLUETTI, and Anker SOLIX do not sell traditional pad generators; that silo is informational.
