Keeping the lights on: paying for backup power
A generator, a home battery and a drawer of flashlights each keep a different part of a house going through an outage, and only the generator can kill if it is run in the wrong place. Poland pays up to half the cost of a home battery, but only once it is installed, and often many months after. Whatever pays for the rest, from savings to a bank loan to a 30-day loan from Avinto for a small item, the repayment has to clear in the winter the equipment was bought for.
