Setting the Scene
Are camping and tailgating right up your alley? What about boating, hunting, or road trips? Even if you’re not into those activities, having a portable power source on hand is always a smart choice. The Jackery brand and Anker Solix have become especially popular for these occasions, and for good reason—they’re compact, reliable, and perfect for powering gear off the grid.
But here’s something most people don’t realize: with the right setup, you can also use your portable battery power source during a power outage at home. That’s where Cooper Electrical Services comes in. With a professionally installed transfer switch, your Jackery transforms from a weekend accessory into a portable power station home backup system you can count on.
The Transfer Switch: Key to Battery Home Backup
Think of a manual transfer switch as the secure bridge between your Jackery and your home’s electrical panel. Without it, you’re stuck running extension cords to a few appliances. With it, you can safely power entire rooms (lights, refrigerators, Wi-Fi, medical devices, and more) at the flip of a switch.
At Cooper Electrical Services, we’ve seen a big boom in these portable power sources, and we want to let you in on a little secret: after your house has had a manual transfer switch professionally installed, your Jackery is all set to provide reliable emergency backup for your home. 
For example, the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus provides generous capacity and solar charging capabilities. It’s strong enough to run heavy-duty appliances, but it only becomes a true portable power station home backup when paired with a transfer switch. That switch ensures safe, code-compliant power delivery to your home’s circuits and gets rid of guesswork and hazards. And with the right installation, you’ll finally unlock the full potential of your Jackery home backup system.
Professional Installation Matters
Cooper Electrical Services doesn’t just work with traditional standby and RV generators; we also install Jackery manual transfer switches correctly and safely to keep the lights on. So, whether you’re looking for a full-home generator or want to maximize your Jackery’s potential, we’re here to keep your home and family powered when it matters most.
