Independence Day traditionally means barbecues, firework displays, beach hangs, lake days, and spending time around friends and family – at least here in the United States. 

Did you know that over 150 countries have an independence day celebration in some form? For people across the globe, independence is a crucial element to living a fruitful and prosperous life.

But what does it mean to be truly independent these days? One thing many of us depend on is the electrical grid. During blackouts and disasters, we realize how much we might take energy and electricity for granted. 

Below, Geneverse goes over a few ways to reduce your reliance on the electrical grid as well as a few ways to enjoy a safe and successful July 4th.

Owning Your Power

One of the best ways to gain true energy independence is to invest in an energy storage system – preferably solar. Solar panels can collect energy from the sun. With battery storage, you can charge your battery and either send that energy back to the grid for credits on your monthly utility bill, or hold onto that valuable energy for circumstances when you might need it.

You can research local solar installers and utility providers to learn more about the steps you need to take to convert to solar energy in your household.

Stability and Control

Two hallmarks of independence are stability and control. Solar power is something that can be relied on during an emergency and in everyday circumstances. Solar energy systems have the ability to power entire households, whether you’re living in a city or off the grid. 

Geneverse’s PowerPillar ESS features battery storage with a hybrid inverter, which allows you to control when and how you use your solar-generated power. Generating your own electricity on-site will help you protect yourself against rising energy rates and volatile markets. 

Security and Self-Sustainability

When you reduce your own reliance on the electrical grid, this helps increase local and national security. Solar energy will rid you of any anxiety that geopolitical tensions and disruptions in supply might foster. Solar energy helps reduce your reliance on fossil fuels and centralized power grids as well. Converting to solar is also a great way to help confront and combat climate change. 

With the PowerPillar ESS, your increased security and sustainability will help ensure that you have a reliable and steady supply of energy for daily living and emergency situations.

Tips for a Safe Fourth of July

Having a safe July 4th celebration should be on everyone’s bingo card this year. As we celebrate Independence Day, first and foremost, we’d like to remind everyone enjoying fireworks to do so safely and respectfully. Always follow best practices and safe handling instructions. If you are unsure how to use fireworks, it might be a good idea to leave it to the professionals. 

As temperatures in many locales rise for the summer, make sure to stay out of the heat, protect your skin, and stay well-hydrated at all times. 

Make sure to be prepared. Keep a first aid kit on hand. If you’re having a gathering, it’s a good idea to find out if anyone among your guest list is experienced in first aid – that way you know who to go to if there’s an emergency that needs to be addressed.
