These days, power outages are getting to be a lot more common yet, most people are not prepared for a power outage. Gas generators usually are not a solution for more than a day or two simply because they use up too much fuel and gasoline is always the first commodity to sell out during a disaster.

In 2012, Super Storm Sandy, an enormous natural disaster, caused a blackout for millions of people along the Northeastern of the United States. There was a mad dash to gas stations and people waited consistent for hours to acquire gas. There was clearly a huge gas shortage and people couldn't run their gas powered generators for that reason. After the storm, individuals were left without power for weeks.

When many people think of a power outage they think that it will only last a few hours and maybe even a day or two. They think that the power company will be able to get their power support and running and everything is going to be fine....but what if that wasn't the case? What if the power outages lasted weeks, months... as well as years? How does one survive?

Solar-powered generators are the most useful solution to have emergency power in short or long tern power outages. These generators never use gas, they don't emit harmful fumes and they're extremely quiet.

Also, there are many types of solar generators open to meet the specific needs of you and your family. You can find stand alone systems as well as systems that may be connected to the electrical panel in your home. There are even generators designed for well pumps so you will never have to do without water once the grid is down.

Home and solar powered generators provides clean, reliable power for several days, weeks and even years, also, since they have a built in battery bank, scalping systems can produce power at night as well as in the daytime.
