Backup power
Solar generators & backup power for Philippine brownouts
A grid-tied solar system shuts off the instant the grid does — anti-islanding, to protect line workers (here's why). What actually keeps your lights, router, and fridge running is aportable power station: a battery with a built-in inverter you charge ahead of time and run appliances from during an outage.

Which brand: EcoFlow or Bluetti?
EcoFlow has the deepest, most consistently stocked PH lineup and the fastest recharge — the do-it-all default.Bluetti is the value pick: LiFePO4 durability, a 5-year warranty included, and usually more capacity per peso. Anker SOLIX is a fair third option with strong retail presence. Whichever brand you choose, the sizing logic is the same — match the class to your outages.
Frequently asked questions
Is a portable power station the same as a solar generator?
Yes, in common PH usage "solar generator" and "portable power station" refer to the same thing: a battery pack with an inverter that you can charge from a wall outlet or a solar panel, then use to run appliances during an outage. It is separate from a home solar panel installation.
Do I need solar panels to use one of these?
No. You can charge most units from a regular wall outlet and just use the battery as backup. Adding a portable solar panel lets you recharge during a multi-day outage without grid power, which matters most for the mid and large segments.
Will this replace my grid-tied solar system during a brownout?
A standard grid-tied solar system shuts off during a blackout for safety (anti-islanding). A portable power station is a separate, independent backup that keeps working regardless of what your main solar setup does — see our guide on why panels shut off during a brownout.
How do I pick the right size?
Do a quick power audit: list what you want to run (router, lights, fan, fridge, CPAP, laptop), add up the watts, and size a unit with roughly 20–30% headroom above your peak load. See our sizing guide for full runtime math.
Why are prices shown as ranges instead of exact numbers?
PH e-commerce prices on these units swing frequently with Shopee/Lazada flash sales and bundle promos. We show ranges so the numbers stay accurate — always check the current price on the retailer page before buying.
Is a solar power bank enough for backup?
No. A solar power bank is a small phone-charging battery with a tiny solar panel that barely charges — fine for hiking or an emergency phone top-up, but far too small to run a router, fridge, or fan through a brownout. For that you need a portable power station. See our solar power bank guide for the full explanation.
