    I don't know.
    Sorry, I do not know where you can checkout a whole house battery backup system.

    I will add to the discussion about lithium vs lead acid batteries. The lithium batteries are dropping in cost. Particularly if you buy them direct from China. Lithium batteries support many more discharge cycles than lead acid and they last much longer. Lead acid batteries typically only last three years in these conditions. Even if you never use them.

    I wondered the same thing, why has no one offered a deep cycle battery and inverter package specifically for brownout protection ? could be several configurations depending on what you would need to power up in brownout... I for one would be interested in a config that would power Router, Fan and a few other creature comforts for our numerous brownouts ....and you would not have the constant noise of a generator in the background... just a thought :smile:

    buy an inverter (pure sine-wave) then you need to buy the batteries, that's the hard bit, depending on your load you will need 400 ah for what you quoted.

    I can see you asked this 2 years ago.

    Been renting all this time but now building out in Pamplona where brownouts are more common... My question dealt with why no one has made this a business so someone like me would not have to source all the parts :smile:

    solar panels + battery is the best backup system. if you want to be completely independent look for a wind turbine, that's interesting. and btw, all these systems with batteries are not environmental friendly. I recommend the new film from Michael Moore "Planet of the Humans", an eye opener about so called environmental friendly technologies

    I really tried the wind turbine approach, with 15 years of data research, bottom line, the wind doesn't blow constantly at the Optimal speed 80% of the time on Negros island. There is alot more data that went into this conclusion but no need to get into it because it won't work consistently enough, oh and they are noisy!
