Safeguard Against Power Outages

Electrical Hazards
During power outages, risks such as electrical fires and electrocution increase as malfunctioning appliances and systems pose safety threats.

Security Vulnerabilities
Home security systems may be compromised, leaving properties more exposed to intruders, especially in the absence of lighting or surveillance.

Food Spoilage
Refrigerators and freezers lose power, leading to the quick spoilage of perishable food, causing waste and financial loss.

Health Risks
Power outages threaten individuals relying on electric-powered medical devices, endangering their health.

Home Damage
Without power, sump pumps may fail, causing flooding, and HVAC systems may stop regulating temperatures, leading to frozen pipes or mold growth.

Yes, there are several important safety precautions to follow during a power outage:

1. Unplug electronics to prevent damage from power surges when the electricity returns.
2. Avoid using candles for light; use flashlights instead to prevent fire hazards.
3. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to preserve food as long as possible.
4. Check on vulnerable people, such as the elderly or those with medical devices.

However, If you have a home backup generator during a power outage, it can provide a crucial source of backup power. Keep essential devices running: You can use it to power lights, charge phones, refrigerators, coffee makers, etc.

Solar Generator: These portable and highly efficient home backup generators run on clean, renewable sun's energy. It's the best generator for indoor use because there are no harmful emissions.

Diesel Generator: Gas or diesel generators, in particular, are very noisy and emit dangerous fumes like carbon monoxide while working.

Inverter Generator: Inverter generators are smaller and quieter, offering high efficiency and longer run times. They are particularly suitable for powering sensitive electronics like laptops and televisions.

Power Output: Determine the wattage you need to power your essential appliances. Look for a generator that can handle the total wattage of the devices you plan to use during an outage.

Battery Capacity: Check the generator's battery capacity, usually measured in amp-hours (Ah) or watt-hours (Wh). A higher capacity means longer run times for your devices.

Portability: Consider the size and weight of the generator, especially if you plan to move it around. Look for features like wheels or handles for easier transport.

Run Time: Evaluate how long the generator can run on a full charge and how quickly it can recharge, especially if you anticipate needing power for extended periods.

Durability and Weather Resistance: Consider the build quality and whether the generator is designed to withstand outdoor conditions, including rain and dust.

1. Connect the solar panel output cable to the input port on the Jackery solar generator. Make sure the connection is secure.

2. Turn on the Jackery solar generator by pressing the power button. The display will show the battery level and input/output status. If the solar panels are connected correctly and receiving sunlight, you should see the input wattage on the display.

3. Once the generator is charged, you can connect your devices using the AC outlets, USB ports, or DC carport, depending on your needs. Make sure the total wattage of the devices does not exceed the generator's output capacity.

4. Keep an eye on the battery level and output wattage while using your devices. This will help you manage power consumption effectively.
