Start with what must stay powered, then consider how long an outage may last. Account for simultaneous devices, startup demand, available space, recharging access, and whether you may want additional battery capacity or solar input later. For pumps, heating equipment, medical devices, or connected circuits, confirm requirements and compatibility before choosing a setup.
List the essentials you need to power and the likely outage duration. Then compare simultaneous use, startup demand, available space, recharging access, and future expansion. Confirm requirements and compatibility for pumps, heating equipment, medical devices, or connected circuits.

How a Home Backup Solar Generator Works
How a Home Backup Solar Generator Works
A home backup solar generator combines solar collection, stored energy, and accessible power output in one backup setup. During an outage, it can help you prioritize the devices and appliances that matter most, while compatible solar panels provide a way to recharge when sunlight is available.
A home backup solar generator collects solar energy, stores it, and makes it available for prioritized devices during an outage. Compatible solar panels can provide another way to recharge when sunlight is available.
01. Collect Solar Energy
Compatible solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. Place them in direct sunlight to collect more energy.
02. Convert and Store Energy
The power station stores electricity in its battery. Capacity is measured in watt-hours (Wh): a larger number means more stored energy.
03. Power Prioritized Devices
The station’s outlets deliver stored electricity to your devices. Output in watts (W) tells you how much power it can supply at once.

Solar vs. Gas Backup Generators
A home backup solar generator stores electricity for outages and can recharge from compatible solar panels or a wall outlet. A gas generator produces electricity by burning fuel. Compare how each option fits your space, outage plan, and access to recharging or fuel.

Choose a Home Backup Solar Generator by Outage Length
Choose by Outage Length
Start with the essentials you need to keep running, then estimate how long the outage may last. Short interruptions may center on Wi-Fi, phones, lights, or a refrigerator, while overnight and multi-day events call for planning around more devices, added stored energy, and solar recharging.
List the essentials you need to run and estimate the outage length. Longer events may require more stored energy and a plan for solar recharging.
Match Backup Power to Your Essential Devices
Match Power to Essential Devices
Write down each device, its running power, any startup demand, and how many hours you expect to use it. Prioritize refrigeration, communication, lighting, home-office equipment, medical devices, fans, pumps, or essential circuits according to your household's outage plan.
List each essential device, its power needs, and expected hours of use. Account for startup demand where applicable, then prioritize the devices your household needs most.
Choose a Home Backup Solar Generator by Outage Needs
Choose a Home Backup Solar Generator by Outage Needs
Start with the devices you need during an outage—such as a refrigerator, lights, Wi-Fi router, phone charger, home-office equipment, fan, or essential medical device. Then consider expected outage length, whether several loads must run together, and how you plan to recharge.
List your essential devices, estimate how long the outage may last, and note which loads must run together. Also consider how you plan to recharge during a longer disruption.
Solar Generators
Jackery solar generators are solar solutions that combine portable power stations with solar panels. Using solar panels, our solar generators convert solar energy into electrical power, storing it in a portable power station for later use. Jackery solar generators provide clean and reliable power for campers, RVs, and anyone who needs backup energy during an emergency.

Estimate Your Backup Energy Needs
Add the appliances and devices you want to keep running, then enter each item’s wattage and expected hours of use. The calculator combines them to help you compare home backup solar generator options.
Add each essential device, its wattage, and expected hours of use. Use the estimate to compare home backup solar generator options.
Example: a 60W laptop used for 5 hours plus a 10W light used for 5 hours equals 350Wh. Check each device label or a measured wattage; for 30 minutes of use, enter 0.5 hours. Consider startup power separately for appliances with motors or compressors.
Example: 60W × 5 hours plus 10W × 5 hours equals 350Wh. Use device-label or measured wattage, enter 0.5 hours for 30 minutes, and check startup power for motor-driven appliances.

Why Plan for Extra Battery Capacity?
Why Plan for Extra Battery Capacity?
Choose more battery capacity than your estimated device use to account for power conversion, the system’s own energy needs, and unexpected outage time.
For appliances that cycle on and off, such as refrigerators, use a full-day energy reading when possible instead of relying only on the wattage label.
