EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Being prepared during a weather related emergency can provide peace of mind during a serious event. Between long term power outages due to severe weather or public safety power shutoffs, and mandatory evacuations caused by wild fire danger, hurricanes and flooding. There are steps you can take to be in control of your situation. Our solar generators, lights, and electric coolers are generally used for outdoor recreation and off-grid convenience, but are also extremely convenient to have on-hand during a power outage or evacuation.

From city centers, to rural communities our solar generators and portable power solutions can help you stay informed and alert. For things like keeping your wearable tech charged, to phones and tablets or your in-home wifi router and TV. All things that can help you get the most up-to-date information for the situation that you are in. Most information comes through a digital source these days such as WiFi, AI, and TV broadcasting, and ensuring those devices are charged can be crucial. 

Having an emergency plan ahead of time can make all the difference for when disaster strikes. From rural disaster plans, to suburban safety measures, backup solar can benefit every home. Available in a variety of watt-hours and portability, Goal Zero has a portable power solution for every need. 

Power Outages:

Solution: Whole Home back up

What is it: Integrate a backup battery into your home’s main circuit panel. The battery’s stored energy will kick into use when the power goes out. Much like a traditional gas generator, but a battery is safe to use indoors due to its stored electricity either from the wall outlet (when the grid is up) or through a solar panel. When your home is equipped with backup power, you can maintain connection to today’s digital emergency alert technology. 

Backup 10 circuits in your home such as, the refrigerator, medical devices, certain rooms, a sump pump, or microwave. 

Home types: single family homes, rural homes, farm house

Use Case: Power outage, long term power outage, PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff)

Evacuation:

Solution: Portable Solar Generator:

What is it: A portable solar generator is a rechargeable battery system that delivers reliable backup power, without the noise, carbon monoxide risk, or reliance on gas. Unlike traditional gas generators, which must be used outdoors due to toxic exhaust and pose serious (deadly) safety hazards in enclosed spaces, solar generators can be used safely indoors and charged from either a wall outlet or solar panels. Available in a range of sizes, from 300 to 4000 watt-hours, they provide quiet, clean energy for everything.  Plug your devices directly into the generator such as phones, wearable tech, laptops, TV, WiFi router and more during a power outage. The smaller compact sizes are easy to take with you in the event of an emergency. The addition of a solar panel or car charger allows you to replenish the battery when an outlet is unavailable.
