Storm & Outage Backup Power for Your Home
Hurricane season, ice storms and summer grid strain all end the same way: a dark house. Genesis41 Solutions designs home battery and generator backup so your family stays powered, cool and connected.
Plan for the outage before the storm
Gulf South outages can last hours or days after a major storm. A backup plan starts with deciding what must stay on: refrigeration, medical devices, internet, lights, well pumps, and air conditioning or heat.
Backup options we install
- Home battery storage: quiet, automatic backup with no fuel to store. Pairs with new or existing solar so you can recharge from the sun during a long outage.
- Standby generators: Generac home standby generators, whole-home or critical-load, that start automatically when the grid drops. Generac home standby generators run on natural gas or liquid propane (LP), depending on the fuel available at your home.
- Tri-power integration: solar, battery and generator working together, so the generator runs less and your battery lasts longer.
- Electrical readiness: panel upgrades, transfer switches and critical-load subpanels from our electrical team.
Battery or generator?
| Home battery | Standby generator | |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel | None; recharges from solar or grid | Natural gas or liquid propane (LP) |
| Noise | Silent | Audible when running |
| Long outages | Best paired with solar | Runs as long as fuel lasts |
| Maintenance | Minimal | Periodic service and exercise cycles |
Many homeowners choose both. We size the system to the circuits you need most.
Already have solar that goes dark in an outage?
Most grid-tied solar systems shut off when the grid fails, for line-worker safety. Adding a battery and the right controls lets the system keep powering your home. If your original installer is gone, see our orphaned solar service.
