Size your home backup

Tell us how you live and what must stay on. We gate on physics first, then rank by days of runtime — not by who paid for placement.

Backup sizing

Size your home backup

Five questions. Honest matches — no upsell theater.

What kind of home?

Quick runtime check

Runtime Quick-Check

Pick a battery and an appliance — see days of runtime after the 0.85 inverter derate.

4.1 days

Formula: (6144 Wh × 0.85) ÷ 1.26 kWh/day = 4.1 days. Continuous draw ≈ 1.5 days at full load.

Lifetime cost per kWh-cycle

Cost per kWh-cycle (lifetime)

price ÷ (capacity × cycle life × 0.85 inverter efficiency)
