Energy Storage Systems (ESS): The Perfect Solution for Every Home

 

For homes or condos where installing a generator is not feasible, Energy Storage Systems (ESS) provide a practical and efficient alternative. Generators may be restricted or unsuitable for the following reasons:

 

• Space constraints in smaller properties or tight urban environments.

• Local regulations or HOA restrictions that prohibit generators.

• Lack of fuel availability 

• Noise or emissions concerns that make generators undesirable.

 

In such scenarios, ESS systems offer a quiet, emission-free, and reliable power solution that can seamlessly integrate with your home’s energy needs.

 

Energy Storage: The Answer to Utility Changes

 

As utility companies continue to implement policies that reduce the financial benefits of net metering and solar energy, an ESS is becoming a crucial investment. With an ESS, you can:

 

• Store the solar energy you generate for use during twilight or nighttime hours.

• Reduce dependence on the grid and fluctuating utility rates.

• Maintain financial returns on your solar investment by maximizing self-consumption.

 

If you’re choosing between solar panels and an energy storage system, we recommend prioritizing an ESS. Batteries provide immediate value by enhancing energy resilience and optimizing energy usage, even without solar panels in place.

 

Energy Storage: Complementing Traditional Backup Generators

 

For those who can install a generator, pairing it with an ESS creates a powerful and efficient hybrid system. The batteries can serve as the primary power source, with the generator activating only to recharge the batteries when needed. This configuration offers several benefits:

 

• Reduces wear and tear on the generator.

• Lowers fuel consumption during outages.

• Improves performance by running the generator at optimal load.

 

When integrated with solar panels, this setup delivers a resilient and self-sustaining energy solution capable of meeting power needs for extended periods.

Generators:

Unmatched Warranty Coverage

 

With a Briggs & Stratton Power Protect Generator, you can choose between:

 

• Standard 7-Year Warranty

• Optional 10-Year Warranty

 

Both options offer comprehensive coverage with no out-of-pocket costs for labor, parts, or travel for the entire duration of the warranty.

 

Many other brands advertise long warranties but with diminishing coverage over time. For example, competitors often reduce coverage for labor, travel, or even critical components as the years pass—leaving you to cover more costs. With Briggs & Stratton, you receive full, worry-free protection from day one to the last day of your warranty.

 

Powerful and Reliable Performance

 

Briggs & Stratton Power Protect Generators are built to deliver consistent, dependable power for any situation:

 

• NG Max Certification: These generators maintain their advertised power output, whether fueled by natural gas or propane. Many other brands experience significant derating with natural gas, but Briggs & Stratton ensures maximum performance.

• Off-Grid and Demand Response Use: Briggs & Stratton Power Protect Generators are designed for continuous operation, making them suitable for extended off-grid or demand-response use. Unlike competitors that may void your warranty for prolonged operation, Briggs & Stratton generators are built to handle it.

• Commercial-Grade Engine: At the core of every Power Protect Generator is a Vanguard Commercial Grade Engine, a proven powerhouse that has stood the test of time. Briggs & Stratton’s decades of expertise in engine design ensure your generator is built to last.

 

Innovative Weekly Testing

 

Briggs & Stratton has reimagined the way generators perform weekly tests to address a common issue: engine damage from condensation buildup. Traditional generators run for 10–30 minutes under no load during weekly exercises, causing condensation to form and potentially leading to long-term damage.

 

Here’s how Briggs & Stratton solves this:

 

• 16-Second Weekly Test: Power Protect Generators start and run for a brief 16 seconds to verify all components are functioning, without allowing harmful condensation to form.

• Twice-Yearly Long Test: For customers who prefer a longer check, the generator automatically performs a 45-minute full-system test twice a year, ensuring peak readiness.

 

Why Choose Briggs & Stratton Power Protect Generators?

 

• Comprehensive 7- or 10-year warranty with no hidden costs.

• Reliable power output with no derating, regardless of fuel type.

• Built for continuous and demanding use without voiding your warranty.

• Industry-leading innovations to protect your engine and ensure long-term durability.
