If you live in a rural community, experiencing a power outage caused by extreme weather could result in being left in the dark for days or even weeks.
Not only can this become a major inconvenience for you and your family, but it could also lead to hundreds of dollars in food waste.
However, there is one backup power system that just might pay for itself when the weather takes a turn for the worse.
Home batteries can offer you a dependable backup energy source during outages, while also helping to save money by shifting energy use to off-peak hours, especially when paired with solar panels.
This can go a long way in reducing your reliance on the grid and saving money on your energy bill. These systems can even seamlessly power essential appliances during blackouts.
The one downside? They can often come with high upfront costs.

Not at all 🙅 In a conversation with The Cool Down, Pila's founder, Cole Ashman, detailed the benefits of his company's technology.
"Power passes from the wall to the battery to the [appliance like a] refrigerator, and if power goes out, it will automatically disconnect from your home and turn that kitchen area or your den [etc] into an island of power," Ashman said.
This means that if your fridge is fully stocked, you can buy yourself plenty of time to keep your food fresh.
"The average person may have a few hundred dollars of food in their fridge … so just purely from a resilience standpoint, you're talking one or two outages for the upfront cost [of the battery] to be paid off," Ashman added.
