Small & medium business
Closed is the most expensive setting on the panel
A restaurant, clinic, or shop that goes dark for a day loses inventory, payroll hours, and bookings it never gets back. Backup power for a small business is not an emergency purchase. It is an operating cost with a payback period.
Load profile
What keeps a business open
- Point of sale & payments
- Terminals, network gear, and the internet connection they depend on. A UPS covers this instantly; the generator covers the day.
- Refrigeration
- Walk-ins, reach-ins, and prep line. Product loss is usually the largest single number in an outage post-mortem.
- Servers & network
- On-prem servers, NVR, phone systems, and controllers that do not tolerate a hard power cut.
- HVAC & ventilation
- Kitchen make-up air, exhaust hoods, and heat, which code often requires to operate at all.
- Access & security
- Electric locks, cameras, alarms, and lighting for staff and customer safety.
- Compressed air & process
- Shop air, lifts, and any process equipment where a mid-cycle stop causes damage.
Equipment class
Typical small-business configurations
Most commercial storefronts and clinics land between 25 kW and 150 kW, with a UPS layer in front of anything with a processor in it.
20 – 40 kW
Critical branch only
Backs refrigeration, POS, network, and egress lighting through a dedicated sub-panel. Fastest payback.
50 – 100 kW
Full operations
Runs the business as normal including HVAC, so you stay open rather than merely protected.
125 – 300 kW
Multi-tenant / campus
Liquid-cooled standby with load management across several suites or buildings on one service.
