A backup generator located at a remote site provides the advantages of being compact in size but providing backup power over a long period of time. A multi-level cabinet which includes room for a backup generator and a fuel tank is located in close proximity to the electronic devices for which the power will be provided. The fuel tank may be used to hold propane or a similar fuel, and the tank will be included in a stacked structure with the backup generator. The cabinet for the generator includes sufficient structure to protect the electronics of the backup generator from the elements. Connected between the backup generator and a primary power source to the electronic devices, such as a personal communications system (PCS) site, is a sensor which detects when a power failure has occurred. In the event that such a failure has occurred, the backup generator is activated and provides power to the site electronics. Other monitoring equipment may be included with the backup generator so that its operation may be monitored from a remote location.
