Power is a measure of the rate at which energy flows, in electrical systems, it is measured in Watts (W). Generators have different maximum wattages. Transfer Switches and Inlet systems allow you to provide power to your home during an outage with the flip of a switch, turning your power from the grid to your backup system.
