This Earth Day it's time to think about how you can live sustainably (and comfortably) on a planet that is increasingly being affected by climate change. According to the latest Blackout Tracker Annual Report 2012 by Eaton, 25 million people lost power last year. As we have become more dependent on cell phones, networks, and computers we can no longer tolerate even brief power outages. The average outage in the US in 2012 was 154 minutes but there were parts of Long Island, NY that didn't have power for two weeks after Hurricane Sandy.
However, only 3% of American households have standby generators and only 1% have solar power. But is that really the smartest solution? During Sandy, most of those with solar found that they still didn't have power since their system had no transfer switch and some lost gas as well as electricity. It's time to think about making a change, it's time for the SunStation Home.
Whether it rains or pours, the SunStation Home works 24/7 to provide power when the grid goes down. Combining the latest in battery technology with integrated communication and system monitoring, the SunStation Home means you don't have to worry about not having power ever again.
When a storm knocks out the grid, the SunStation immediately responds by isolating your system and powering your critical devices from the battery array. Solar panels recharge your batteries during the storm and continue to work afterwards to provide you with clean, sustainable energy and lower your electric bill.
