Every outage costs an office in lost work. A layered plan keeps the important things running.

Layer 1: Instant (seconds to minutes)

A UPS on every desktop, the router and network switches, so nothing drops when power flickers.

Layer 2: Hours

An inverter system with lithium batteries, optionally charged by solar panels, runs lights, fans, computers and network for hours.

Layer 3: Long outages

A generator with a properly installed changeover switch, always placed outdoors.

Protect everything

Stabilizers for ACs and fridges, surge protectors for everything else.

Plan it in three steps

  1. List equipment that must stay on.
  2. Note how long outages usually last at your location.
  3. Size each layer for that load and duration.
