Extreme weather is no longer a rare occurrence; it’s our new reality. From intensifying seasonal storms to an increasingly strained grid, power cut are becoming more frequent and unpredictable. To stay ahead of the chaos, homeowners and businesses are turning to advanced battery systems like the Tesla Powerwall 3 and SigenStor by Sigenenergy to keep their homes powered, businesses running during powercuts.  Some of our customers even rely on Powerwall to keep life-saving medical equipment going during a blackout!

How Modern Battery Storage Handles Power Cuts 

Solar battery with backup capabilities handle power cuts by automatically disconnecting from the grid (islanding) to prevent feeding power back to the grid.

 Advanced systems like the intelligent Powerwall Gateway and the Sigen Energy Gateway  detects loss of power and instantly restores power to your home in a fraction of a second.

Your lights stay on, your fridge keeps humming, and many customers don’t even notice the interruption.  You can have your very own personal power plant ready and waiting in case of emergencies.  Oh, and you’ll also be able to reduce your bills using Solar Grid Trading. 

How long can a Solar Batteries keep your home running without power?

Whilst this figure varies depending on the demands of your home or business –   it’s very common that all essential appliances can be powered off grid for around 24 hours in most homes.  For example, here’s how Powerwall capabilities help you maximise longevity in the event of power cut:

• Storm Watch – When the Met Office issue Amber or Red alerts, Tesla’s ‘Storm Watch‘ mode braces for impact.  Your Powerwall will automatically charge to full capacity to prepare for power cuts caused by severe weather.  (Storm Watch can be turned off in the Powerwall app if you don’t want it). 
• Charge on Solar – Your Powerwall can still be powered by clean, solar energy, even when the grid is down. 
• In App Monitoring – Keep tabs on your ongoing energy consumption and available power to optimise usage during power cuts.

“The latest storm really tested the battery system.  Grid power went down for 24 hours, resulting in our first pressure test of the Storm Watch feature and it came through with flying colours.

It was a very impressive performance and we’ve learnt a few things as well that we’ll be adopting”.

” When Storm Goretti took out the grid, our SigenStor kicked in instantly, keeping us fully powered while others went dark. It’s an incredibly impressive system that provided the vital backup we needed to stay operational. I can’t recommend Sigenergy enough for any business owner.“.
