Can a solar generator power a house during a blackout?

Question

Accepted Answer

A large unit (2,000Wh+) can run essential circuits: fridge, lights, phone chargers, and WiFi router for 8-24 hours. It cannot run central AC, electric ovens, or water heaters. For whole-home backup, you need a dedicated home battery like Tesla Powerwall or the EcoFlow Smart Home Panel integration.
