One of the first factors homeowners consider is the cost. Generators tend to have a lower initial price than solar power backup systems, making them attractive for those on a tighter budget. Depending on size and power capacity, a traditional generator battery backup can cost between $2,000 and $5,000.
On the other hand, solar backup systems, which often include PV battery storage, are typically more expensive to install. Solar power systems for backup generally range from $10,000 to $20,000. However, this higher initial cost often comes with long-term savings. After installation, homeowners can benefit from significantly reduced energy costs, especially during peak utility rates or extended grid outages.
