New York, NY – Gaia Power Technologies, the leading provider of battery-based backup power systems, announced that its flagship product, the PowerTower, has provided over a million hours of outage protection to homes and businesses across the United States.

The PowerTower is a cutting edge backup power system, ideal for providing backup power to the modern home. The PowerTower provides an alternative for generators for extended backup power for homes and businesses. The unit installs indoors, produces no noise or polluting emissions, does not require a generator permit, and provides hours to days of backup power during an outage.

Founded in 2002 by Bige Doruk and Dr. Ib Olsen, Gaia Power Technologies installed its first system in 2003 in the home of a Vermont developer. Currently, Gaia has systems installed in twelve states and two countries.

Besides being a cleaner, more convenient alternative to a generator, the PowerTower also offers increased peace of mind, with industry-leading reliability and instantaneous response time during a power outage. Gaia’s full two-year warranty ensures a swift resolution to any service issues.

"We’re very excited to see the traction that the PowerTower has gained among consumers in the past few years,” said David Wohst, Director of Sales. “We believe we have reached a tipping point in the outage-prone communities in the Northeast, and we’re expanding our sales across the US and internationally. Reaching this operational milestone demonstrates how the market for battery backup systems is growing nationwide."
