Backup for power outages Single-family homes
Reliable battery storage solutions for single-family homes – automatic switchover in under 30 ms, compatible with PV systems, scalable from 5 to 20+ kWh. Designed for installers, project planners, and distributors.
Rising demand for backup systems in the single-family home segment
Homeowners and project planners face the challenge of reliably protecting single-family homes from power outages – without compromises on safety, lifespan, or system integration. The market requires plannable, professional solutions.
More frequent & longer power outages
Extreme weather, grid overload, and infrastructural bottlenecks noticeably increase the frequency and duration of power outages in residential areas.
Protect critical loads
Heating, cooling, security systems, and home office must continue to run uninterrupted even during power outages – without manual intervention.
Enhance PV system effectively
Existing solar installations become a true all-around supply with a battery storage system – self-consumption optimization and emergency reserve in one system.
Easy installation & maintenance
Installers need systems that are easy to integrate, allow standardized project configurations, and require little maintenance.
Typical project situations in single-family homes
LiPower backup systems cover all typical installation situations in the single-family home segment.

New construction with energy planning
Early integration of storage and backup into building technology – for maximum efficiency and low follow-up costs.

Retrofitting existing PV system
Adding a battery storage with backup function to an existing solar system – on the AC or DC side.

Standalone backup without PV
Pure emergency system for securing critical loads – independent of a solar system, charged from the grid.

Series projects for installers
Standardized configurations for installation companies equipping multiple single-family homes with identical systems.
How backup systems are used in single-family homes
Three typical application scenarios from practice.

Full supply during multi-hour outages
A 10–16 kWh system supplies all essential loads of a single-family home overnight and until the next sunny day.
- Heating pump & thermostat control
- Refrigerator, freezer, kitchen appliances
- Lighting throughout the house
- Router, TV, computer, telephone
- Alarm system & door camera

PV storage with automatic backup activation
The storage charges during the day with solar power and switches to island operation automatically during a grid outage – with no interruption.
- Self-consumption optimization during the day
- Automatic UPS switching < 30 ms
- Recharge via PV during sunlight hours
- Savings on grid electricity costs

Targeted protection of critical loads
For households with specific requirements: secure medical devices, home office, security systems, or frozen food.
- CPAP/BIPAP & medical devices
- NAS server & home office equipment
- Freezers with sensitive contents
- Security systems & access control
Typical system architecture for single-family homes
LiPower systems integrate seamlessly with home technology – whether new construction or retrofit, with or without PV system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about backup systems for single-family homes.
For basic supply (lighting, router, cooling) 5 kWh is sufficient. For comfortable full supply including heating pump and washing machine, we recommend 10–16 kWh. With daily PV recharging, 5–10 kWh is often enough.
LiPower all-in-one systems with UPS function switch in under 30 ms – fast enough that computers, NAS servers, and smart home systems continue running without restarting.
Yes. LiPower wall storage and all-in-one systems are compatible with common hybrid inverters such as SMA, Fronius, Growatt, or Sungrow – both on the AC and DC side depending on system configuration.
With a continuous load of 500–800 W (cooling, lighting, router, heating pump), a 10 kWh battery lasts 12–20 hours. With a solar system, it gets recharged during the day, significantly extending supply.
Yes, stationary wall storage and all-in-one systems must be installed by a qualified electrical specialist. LiPower supports installation partners with complete technical documentation.
For single-family homes, we recommend the BT51100 (5 kWh), BT512200 (10 kWh), or the all-in-one PH15000 (5 kW / 16 kWh) with integrated inverter and UPS function. The choice depends on consumption, PV system, and budget.
Yes. LiPower offers complete OEM/ODM services including enclosure, firmware, branding, and packaging – ideal for installation companies and brands looking to build their own product lines.
LiPower LiFePO4 systems are certified according to CE, IEC 62619, and UN38.3. Upon request, we provide complete certification documentation and test reports for your project files.
