Whole-Home Backup in Cyprus

Keep your home running during power cuts, with a system designed honestly around what you actually need.

Power cuts are a real concern in Cyprus, and backup is one of the most requested features we see. It is also one of the most misunderstood. The honest starting point is this: a battery added for self-consumption does not automatically power your home during an outage. Backup requires a hybrid inverter designed for islanded operation, along with appropriate switchboard wiring. If backup matters to you, it has to be part of the design from the beginning.

There are two levels. Essential-loads backup wires selected circuits, such as lights, the fridge, the internet router and chosen sockets, to a protected output. It is the cost-effective choice and covers what most households genuinely need during an outage. Whole-home backup keeps the entire switchboard powered, within the limits of the inverter's output and the battery's capacity. Whether heavy loads such as ovens or large air-conditioning units can run simultaneously depends on the specific design, which we define precisely before you sign anything.

What backup gives you

Fast switchover

A backup-capable hybrid inverter disconnects from the grid and continues supplying protected circuits, fast enough that most equipment keeps running.

Daylight recharge

During an outage, your panels keep recharging the battery, extending how long you can run.

Two honest levels

Essential-loads backup for what matters most, or whole-home backup where the design supports it. You choose knowingly.

Defined expectations

We tell you exactly what stays on, and for roughly how long, before installation, so there are no surprises in a real outage.

Who this is suitable for

Essential-loads backup suits most households that simply want the fridge, lights and internet to keep working through an outage, at a sensible cost. Whole-home backup is worth the larger investment for properties with medical equipment, home offices that cannot stop, or owners who want full comfort regardless of the grid. Both are legitimate choices. What matters is that the system is sized correctly and that you understand exactly what it will and will not run.

Frequently asked questions

Only if the system is designed and sized for it. Whole-home backup keeps the entire switchboard powered within the limits of the inverter and battery; high-power loads like ovens or large AC units may exceed capacity. We define exactly what your system supports during the design study.

Essential-loads backup powers selected circuits such as lights, fridge and router. Whole-home backup powers the entire switchboard, within equipment limits. Essential-loads is more cost-effective; whole-home requires larger equipment.

No. A standard grid-tied system shuts down during an outage for safety, regardless of sunshine. Backup requires a hybrid inverter designed for islanded operation and a battery.
