Preparing a Disaster Plan for Your Business

For businesses, access to reliable  temporary electrical power  through a  backup generator  is essential in the event of a power outage or natural disaster like a flood, fire or severe storm. Not only does a stable power source allow the business to continue (if possible), it also protects data, your premises, and staff.  Here are some insights into this type of  power generation  as part of your disaster plan.   Know what your backup generator will power   Generators can power everything from a few computers to entire buildings and worksites depending on their size and load capacity. Before buying a generator, it’s essential to work out exactly what needs to be powered within your premises (including computers, servers, routers,  refrigeration and more ) in order to ensure that you have the right size backup generator on hand.   Security regulations stay in place   Safety compliance is vital regardless of the state of the grid, so access to reliable, stable tem

4 Ways That Commercial Rooftop Solar Saves You Money

Every business has unique power requirements and faces its own power challenges, but most of these challenges can be solved while decreasing costs by using a combination of commercial rooftop solar   panels and high-quality energy storage systems. Here are  four  ways going solar will save your business money, from the solar cell specialists.   1.  Earning solar feed-in credits:  The amount of credits your business can earn are dependent on the size of your solar cell system  and t he deal you negotiate with the local electricity retailer and the policy in place for your state. This system allows you to sell the excess solar energy in c/kWh that your commercial rooftop solar system collects back into the grid, earning you a profit in credits, which can also be traded to other businesses. Currently, the  value of these credits is between 7 cents and 20 cents per kWh.   2.   Independence from the grid:  Full or even partial independence from the  grid can make a massiv

Why Do Schools Need Backup Generators?

It is important for public places such as healthcare, banking, and manufacturing or processing industries require backup electrical power to sustain their operations during power outages. These standby power options can help businesses to run smoothly and to keep their day-to-day operations go accordingly to the plan. Therefore, schools and universities also need generator sets to keep their operations go on when the power is gone.  There are a lot of systems the school needs to use, including heating and cooling, ventilation, fire alarms, computer networks, research equipment, data storage, lighting, security, elevators, and phone networks among more. Without power backup, the schools will have to shut their doors, which will have a big impact on their student’s studying journey. Here are some benefits of having backup power in your school:  Class Disruptions & Scheduling With the power back up, your school is at risk of class disruptions and scheduling. This help

How Does A Backup Generator Work?

Backup generators play a critical role in supplying electrical power to commercial and industrial operations and projects in the event that the grid is down or too remote for access. Whether they are supplying industrial equipment , construction sites, boats and ships or concerts, and outdoor events, these machines deliver power safely, reliably and affordable. But how do they work? Despite their name, generators do not create energy – they actually convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy that is then supplied to power commercial or industrial equipment.  The main piece of equipment in a backup generator is the engine, which can be powered by diesel, biogas, petrol or other fuels. The size of the engine determines the amount of electrical power the generator can supply, which is why residential generators are so much smaller than generators used in mining or construction applications, or those used as backup power for data centers and hospitals.
