Backup Power for Medical Equipment: What You Need to Know in Columbus, Ohio

When the power goes out, having a reliable backup system isn’t just convenient, it can be life-saving. For households and healthcare providers in Columbus that rely on critical medical devices, uninterrupted power is non-negotiable.

At BC Solar, we specialize in solar and battery systems that keep your essential equipment running with no flicker, no panic, no question.

Why Backup Power Is Essential for Medical Equipment

Whether it's oxygen concentrators, CPAP machines, dialysis units, or refrigerated medications, any interruption can pose serious health risks. Central Ohio sees its fair share of outages from storms, grid strain, or infrastructure issues. You shouldn’t have to worry if your equipment will make it through the night.

Solar + Battery = Power You Can Count On

We don’t just install solar panels. We design complete backup systems around your specific needs, starting with the medical devices you or your loved ones rely on every day.

Here’s how we do it:

• Battery-first design: We center your system on battery capacity, not just panel count.

• Custom configuration: We calculate total power demand, including peak loads from medical gear.

• Smart switching: Our systems detect outages instantly and keep your critical circuits running.

• Silent operation: Unlike gas generators, battery backups are quiet and clean ideal for indoor or sensitive environments.

For Homes, Clinics, and Care Facilities

We’ve helped:

• Families caring for elderly relatives at home

• Individuals managing chronic conditions with powered devices

• Medical professionals operating small clinics or in-home practices

Every setup is different. We take the time to listen and engineer a system that gives you peace of mind.

Real Story: Keeping the Lights and Lifelines On

One of our Columbus clients added extra battery storage during a home renovation. After a recent storm knocked out grid power for over 8 hours, their Sol-Ark system kept their CPAP machines and refrigerator going without a hiccup. As they told us: “We slept through the outage and woke up safe.”

FAQs

What size battery system do I need for my medical equipment?

It depends on the devices you use, their wattage, and how long you need them to run without grid power. We do a full load analysis to size your system properly.

Can I use solar alone without batteries?

Not for medical backup. A grid-tied solar system without batteries shuts down during an outage. Batteries are essential for keeping things running when the grid is down.

What brands do you use?

We’re battery-agnostic. That means we build around what works best for you including Sol-Ark, EG4, and others. We focus on function, not sales quotas.
