Backup Power Solutions for the Home and Office

Perhaps the most important part of our day is spent at home. It’s where we reconnect with our loved ones, celebrate special occasions, and simply unwind from a stressful day at the office.

But homes are functional as much as they are diverting spaces – power shortages of even a few minutes can severely disrupt your mornings and evenings in.

With that in mind, it’s hardly surprising that electrical outage in the office can be doubly destructive, bringing your important work to a complete standstill.

It’s amazing to see just how much of our home and office use is entirely dependent on electricity. Without it, we are cast adrift from even those simple activities we take for granted.

Power outage can affect:

• Heating systems
• Air conditioning
• Technology such as phones and the Internet
• Kitchen appliances like mixers, the oven, refrigerators, freezers
• Water
• Security systems

The latter is particularly troubling if there’s a power outage when you’re abroad, leaving you completely defenseless from break-ins. Imagine, then, how disruptive power shortages can be when they last for days.

Why You Can No Longer Afford to Rely on Mains Power Supplies

With the dramatic environmental changes happening all over the world, power shortages are becoming a serious problem for all of us.

Relying on mains power supplies leaves you completely vulnerable to freak accidents such as trees taking out power lines, thunderstorms destroying circuits, or simple wear and tear temporarily wrecking the mains system.

Add to that the minimal changes that have been made to worldwide electrical grids over the years, and a home/office power back-up solution becomes the most important investment you can make to keep your home life running exactly as you want it.

Do you work from home and rely on Internet connections and electrical power for your technology? Do you share a home with an elderly person, or children who need extra care and assistance that would make a power outage unsustainable? Do you have an office that is entirely dependent on electricity in order to operate normally?

The choice is either to take a huge risk, and hope that the mains will withstand whatever is thrown at it…

Or purchase a FoxPower product to support your backup power solution for the home and office, and get the security that is rapidly becoming a necessary addition to offices and homes worldwide.

It’s not really a choice, is it?

The Benefits of Our Products

Our products are with you for round the clock protection, working with your backup solutions to provide power when you need it most. Foxpower’s products work with your backup solutions to automatically detect when your office and home’s mains power supply shuts down. They start working so quickly you’ll likely only hear about the power outage from the radio or from a neighbor some time after it has happened!

Foxpower Solutions

Foxpower has three key solutions for supporting home backup power. Read on to learn more about them, and to find out which one of our solutions is the perfect fit for your backup system.

Battery Backup Systems

To power up the most critical of your household’s appliances, there are a range of battery backup system solutions available to consumers today, from single battery systems (that work well for power outages lasting just a few hours) to larger battery bank systems that can provide reliable power for up to two days. FoxPower has developed a range of products that can be integrated into these systems for high-quality support.

Best For

A battery power backup solution is best for users who want the flexibility of restoring power to individual appliances at a time.

Products Available at FoxPower for Battery Backup Systems

In order to operate, battery backup systems always require an inverter, while some also require a charger. FoxPower offers Inverters (that only require a simple transfer switch to operate) and Inverter/Chargers (with full-range power rating), meaning there is something for everyone in our top product range.

Foxpower’s inverters use pure sine wave to quietly and efficiently convert DC to AC, meaning you can continue to use your AC-powered equipment, at any time, in your home or office, without disruption. FoxPower uses the best technology available, as pure sine wave inverters provide output with the lowest total harmonic distortion. Put simply, pure sine wave inverters produce the highest power quality in comparison to other types of inverters.

Foxpower’s inverter/chargers combine our inverter with a battery charger (batteries not included). We have simplified the process by designing a simple transfer switch, meaning the inverter/charger has a capability of powering a range of personal and commercial appliances.

Benefits

• Low Maintenance: Battery backup systems are some of the most efficient backup solutions on the market, as they require no maintenance after their simple indoor/outdoor installation. FoxPower’s inverters and inverter/chargers are simple to implement into your chosen backup system and come with their own step-by-step manual for extra guidance.
• Low Power Demand: The consumption of power for battery-powered systems is dependent on load demand, meaning that together with FoxPower’s inverters and inverter/chargers, you systems will consume next to no power at zero load and ensure your energy usage is only spent on the appliances that matter to you.
• High Quality Output: Most appliances in the home are built to run on AC (alternating current) power. As battery-operated systems operate by DC (direct current), it is necessary to transfer the current in order for battery power to function for home use. Our inverters use pure sine wave to convert DC to AC.

Foxpower’s Solar Off-Grid Home and Office Backup System

Solar power has been used for many years to produce electricity for businesses and homes. We at FoxPower have harnessed this technology to provide you with a solar charge controller to complement a sustainable home solution for backup power.

Best For

A solar power backup system is the best solution for remote locations across the world, completely cutting the need for any costly electric lines.

As solar power cannot be generated in evenings or on rainy days, in order to provide constant power during outages, we highly recommend complementing your solar power backup solution with our solar charge controller.

Products available at FoxPower for Solar Off-Grid Home Backup Systems

You’re in great hands: FoxPower specializes in a range of maintenance parts for renewable energy systems. Using our popular FoxPower solar charge controller*, you can regulate voltage and/or current to keep your backup solution batteries from overcharging. You may also have heard these controllers called ‘solar regulators’. FoxPower’s solar charge controllers are perfect for use in off-grid backup solutions for the home and office.

Benefits

• A Green Solution: Our parts for solar home backup systems help to provide the greenest solutions for the home. Solar backup systems run on renewable energy, are exceptionally quiet, and need no maintenance beyond initial installation. In addition, our solar power solutions may be in-line with your country’s governmental incentives for green living.
• Simple Installation: Installation of solar power is not a complicated procedure. For home use, photovoltaic arrays (power-generating units) are normally attached to the roof by way of joists. We make it simple to implement your solar power solution with our FoxPower products by providing you with a step-by-step manual to simplify the setup process for you.
• Low Cost: PFC (power factor correction) consumes far less power than conventional units, meaning solar power solutions are an efficient and inexpensive means of support for your office and home’s backup power supply.
