Blackout Help

[MrBlobby]

What do you need to avoid the electricity blackouts. Some sort of battery and inverter presumably, Anything else ? Presumably I'd need an electrician to wire it in just wanted to get the kit first.

Your best bet is to go solar panel and battery combination than just a battery based system.

As the additional cost of installation of the solar panels will be negligible in the long run

Ok So ideally it would be good to be able to keep the gas central heating on and the lights. How do solar battery systems work though, does the battery power the whole house or ... something else ?
