PedroMoreno Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 Hi everyone, My friends and I are running online events from our home, and we have a need for a battery backup system incase the power goes out for hours on end. Standard UPS devices probably won't do the trick as we need to power computers and a television. Can anyone recommend a professional who deals with battery backup systems, within the Chapala/Ajijic area? Thank you, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted June 19, 2021 Report Share Posted June 19, 2021 If you are having recurring outages that a battery UPS won't handle you might need to invest in a small generator.... make it a Honda so as to be quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Send a PM to GoSolar. We keep a back up generator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Solar Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Yes, feel free to PM or email. Numerous types of solutions are installed in the area and can include a solar grid-tied hybrid system, or done as a stand alone backup system. Both types can be "whole house" or as the OP mentions, tied to the essential loads of the house only. A medium-large setup is shown here, the battery capacity is 15 kWh in this li-ion unit. A starter size would be in the 5 kWh range of backup energy storage capacity, and the sky is the limit on the upside, though when tied to solar panels, generally enough capacity to handle 12 to 15 hours of consumption is sufficient until the sun is charging things again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoreno Posted June 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Thank you for the responses. @Go Solar, do you provide backup options purely with solar panels, or do you also have standalone battery options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
