Inverter+battery: ₹15,000-40,000 (most common Indian solution!)। Generator: ₹30,000-1 लाख। AC needs: 2-3 kVA per 1.5 ton। Lights+fan+fridge: 1-2 kVA। Luminous, Microtek, Su-Kam: top inverter brands। Power cuts still common in many areas — inverter is essential Indian appliance।
Inverter vs Generator
Inverter: silent, automatic, low maintenance। Generator: higher capacity, fuel cost। Most Indians prefer inverter+battery for daily outages।
A whole-house standby generator (Generac, Kohler) installed with an automatic transfer switch is one of the highest-ROI home improvements in areas with frequent outages. It adds $3,000-5,000 to home value and is increasingly expected by buyers in storm-prone and rural areas.
