Quick answer
For short power cuts you need four things: a rechargeable light, a power bank for phones, a small UPS or battery to keep the Wi-Fi router on, and, if outages are long, an inverter with a battery. Start with the cheap items and add backup power as your needs grow.

04Frequently asked questions
What should I buy first for power cuts?
A rechargeable light and a power bank. They are cheap and solve the biggest problems at once.
Can an inverter run my fridge?
Yes, if it is large enough. See the guide on what a 1000W inverter can power.
Will a UPS run my Wi-Fi router?
Yes. Routers use very little power, so a small UPS keeps internet on for hours.
