Storm Konnect

When your battery runs out, simply power up the generator and flick a switch – we’ll show you everything in person when your installation is complete. It’s as simple as that. You’ll have power during short- and longer-term grid outages.

If you don’t want a generator or a battery, check out our Solar Panels for Homes solution. We install bespoke solar solutions that are designed for you and your household’s energy needs and goals – we don’t always recommend a battery or a generator because they don’t always suit.

Our Storm Konnect bundle is designed for homeowners seeking energy resilience and security, in addition to long-term savings.

A common rule of thumb for generators being used during power outages is to place them 6 meters (or 20 feet) away from the home. This is just a general guide, however.

Because we may install slightly different generators to suit some unique cases, please refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for the specific generator installed.

As part of our consultation stage, we complete a free home assessment. At this point we will let you know if there is sufficient space available to safely run a generator.

Storm Konnect is designed to keep your personal devices charged and essential appliances running off-grid, during power outages only.

Grid outages may be short-term, fixed within hours, or longer-term where it takes days to repair damage and restore power.

Storm Konnect is designed to be a home backup power solution for temporary outages, not to permanently run a home completely off-grid.

Yes. Or at least you’ll have the electricity you need to power your Wi-Fi (incl. smartphones, laptops, router, etc.).

The Storm Konnect generator is sized to comfortably run essential appliances and personal devices.

In almost all cases, the generator installed will deliver 6.5kW of usable energy, according to the manufacturer.

This will keep lights on, fridges and freezers running, personal devices charged, it’ll power routers, TVs, game consoles and a home office.

All at the same time. In most cases at least.

Older, less efficient appliances can consume substantially more electricity than their modern counterparts. But in general, 6.5kW can power a lot of household appliances.

For example, you can run over 100 old 60W incandescent light bulbs or 2,500+ modern LED downlights on this generator.

But you might also want to keep your freezer running too. So it’s important to consider what appliances are “essential” to you and run those first. Then you can power up newer devices and appliances until the load gets closer to the maximum rated load for the generator.

If the generator stops because the load is too high, you can simply restart it. But be sure to turn off non-essential appliances first so it can comfortably run your essentials.

But what can’t it run?

Instant electric showers should not be run off the generator – these can have an 8-10kW rating. Running several electric heaters, or boiling several kettles at the same time, will also likely pull too much power.

Storm Konnect isn’t intended for complete off-grid use over extended periods of time. It’s designed to help you weather grid outages comfortably, while also delivering substantially lower bills, year-round.
