Is your commercial facility adequately prepared for potential major storms and power outages? Unfortunately, many commercial buildings nationwide lack sufficient backup power systems to cope with such emergencies. A notable example occurred in 2003 when approximately half of New York City’s 58 hospitals faced power shortages despite having backup generators. Surveys reveal that there is often a disparity between what commercial facilities currently possess, what they desire, and what is necessary to maintain power during severe weather events or blackouts. Given the unpredictable nature of power disruptions, it’s imperative for commercial establishments to establish a comprehensive PV system with battery storage. [1]
Rising Threat of Power Outages for Businesses
Frequent power outages are becoming a growing concern for American businesses, driven by an increase in extreme weather events like hurricanes, heatwaves, and wildfires. In 2020, there were 1.33 billion outage hours, a 73% surge from 2019, as reported by PowerOutage.US, which tracks utility blackout data. These unexpected outages are taking a hefty financial toll, with over 60% of incidents resulting in losses exceeding $100,000, a significant jump from 2019’s 39%, according to the Uptime Institute’s 2022 analysis. To mitigate these risks, more organizations are turning to backup generators to ensure seamless operations during power disruptions. [2]
