Affiliate Disclosure

Clean Power Backup is reader-supported. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase — at no additional cost to you. We only link to products we believe a reasonable buyer would seriously consider, and only after working through the scenario, math, and trade-offs in writing.

What this means in practice

Affiliate commissions fund the time it takes to research, test, and write these reviews. They do not buy a positive verdict. Products that fall short get called out as falling short. If a unit we earn commission on is wrong for your situation, we say so — and where possible we point you to a better fit, even when we earn nothing from that recommendation.

Who we're affiliated with

We participate in affiliate programs that include 4Patriots and may include other portable power and emergency preparedness brands. We are not employed by, owned by, or formally endorsed by any manufacturer we cover. All trademarks and product names belong to their respective owners.

How we decide what to cover

We choose products based on what real households are weighing during real outages — not based on which programs pay the highest commission. Editorial decisions (what to cover, what verdict to reach, what caveats to add) are made independently of affiliate relationships.
