At present we’re all trying to become a little more eco-friendly so it makes sense to try to run as much as you can off-grid and if you have a home photo studio, that could be the perfect place to get started. BioLite’s, who are known for their outdoor camping equipment and power generators, has just announced an all new Backup system, designed for the home and also a perfect fit for anyone looking for an off-grid solution for their photo studio, with the system able to provide up to 60 hours of power. This new system is designed as a home back-up solution to protect your house hold from power cuts if the grid goes down, but the system is equally suited to anyone running a solar or renewable system who needs large capacity power storage.
Off-grid studios or those set up in remote locations often face challenges with energy supply. BioLite’s latest innovation brings dependable, self-installable backup power without the need for costly installation or complex setups. The flagship model, Backup Complete, includes two battery units that deliver up to 3 kWh of energy, enough to power vital studio equipment through prolonged outages. For smaller setups, photographers can opt for the entry-level Backup Core model, which is also modular and expandable depending on power needs.
Jonathan Cedar, BioLite’s CEO and co-founder, noted the accessibility of the system: “Backup by BioLite offers an affordable solution for anyone who needs dependable energy, particularly those in remote areas or studios off the grid.” With its 30-minute self-installation process, the system makes it easy for photographers to stay prepared without needing external help.
The system can be recharged via solar panels or traditional AC outlets, making it highly adaptable for off-grid locations. It can also be monitored and controlled remotely through a WiFi/Bluetooth mobile app, allowing photographers to keep track of energy usage even during long shoots. Plus, the system qualifies for a 30% IRA tax credit, making it an appealing investment for eco-conscious creatives.
