 Applications

As the electricity transmission and distribution network struggles to keep up with demand and with weather-related events always around the corner, power blackouts and brownouts are becoming more frequent.
 

Residential

Unfortunately, the only solution for this problem to date for the residential markets has been a generator. And while generators can have their ideal applications, they are a blunt tool and do not fit every backup power scenario. 

As a solution to this problem, Gaia has developed the battery-based PowerTower™ for Backup. Designed for use in residential properties big and small, for both stand-alone and high-rise buildings, the unit installs easily in any convenient location, and operates quietly with no emissions. In the event of a blackout, the unit automatically and instantly provides high quality power to the circuits that need it. 

A standard unit provides enough power to get through 95% of all outages; for extraordinarily long outages, a small portable generator can be plugged in to easily charge the unit. 

At the same time that the PowerTower provides backup power at the ready, it also enables any future build out of alternative power sources that may take place, such as the addition of solar panels, wind-powered system or stationary generators. 

So whether it is used in a primary or secondary residence, at individual houses, or for the common area of a managed property, the PowerTower for Backup provides an ideal backup power solution. 

Small Businesses

According to a major electrical system manufacturer, there are more than 6 million small businesses in the U.S.
 

• 80% of small businesses experienced at least one power outage in the last year.

• Of those, 29% were without power for at least 8 hours and 19% were without power for at least 16 hours during a single outage.

• 62% had no backup power system

• 58% would consider buying a standby power system if it made economic sense.

Furthermore, those businesses that do have backup generators or UPS systems find that their backup generators and UPS systems do not provide them with all of the backup power they need.

Whether it's refrigeration systems, communication relays or pneumatic networks, critical circuits are often missed when planning for backup power. Unfortunately, reconfiguring the circuits for generators is expensive and most UPS systems focus on computers.

For those circuits that slip through the cracks, Gaia Power Technologies has developed a battery-based backup power unit that installs easily, delivers high-quality power, and can even pay for itself by delivering savings on monthly electric bills.

Additionally, the Gaia PowerTower can serve those businesses that rent their property and are not in a position to install their own generator. Whether in a stand-alone building or a high-rise, the PowerTower can easily go with you should you move.
