How is the PowerTower for Backup different from a UPS system?
Well, to start, where UPS companies seek to address the specific backup needs that come with having important information and functions on computers, Gaia seeks to address the power needs for ALL functions within a house or business (of course, this can include computing systems, but it is not the focus). Its intended use is for a diverse set of backup power needs and as a result, the PowerTower has been designed with multiple DC and AC inputs to work with generators, solar installations, fuel cells and other power sources directly out of the box. Furthermore, and related to this, is the duration of backup provided. Where UPS systems generally seek to provide from seconds to minutes of backup power, Gaia’s PowerTower provides from hours to days.
