What home backup planning is really about
For most households, the first job is to identify the loads that matter most and the kind of outage support they actually want. That creates a much clearer backup brief than the vague idea of wanting the whole home protected somehow.

Common reader questions
Can a home backup battery run everything?
Sometimes, but many projects focus on selected critical loads instead of whole-home backup.
Why is this article useful if there is also a support guide?
Because it gives more room for context and decision-making, while the support guide answers the question more directly.
Should I think about outages and everyday solar savings together?
Yes. The best design often has to serve both concerns at once.
