Solar panels generate free, clean electricity. If your solar panel system is grid-tied (most solar panel systems installed in the US are), it won’t work in a power outage unless paired with reliable solar battery storage. This is because all grid-tied systems must observe the rules of utility. That means if the electric grid is down, you will get no electricity unless you have a battery-backed solar system.
What happenes when the lights go out?
Solar systems generate electricity once the sunlight hits the panels. This electricity then passes through an inverter, where it is converted to alternating current (AC) for domestic use. If you have more power than you need, the excess is added into your power grid.
When severe weather happens and the lights go out utility experts are usually busy trying to restore power under the assumption that the lines are dead. To ensure these experts are not hurt, all Solar Only Systems are designed to shut down once there is a power outage.
Power outages are on the rise in the US
Power outages in the US are common and can happen anytime. Extreme weather conditions and overload to the grid system are the common reasons why you may go for days without electricity. The US leads all developed and industrialized countries in power outages and blackouts. Thankfully, reliable solar batteries like can keep your solar panel system working during blackouts.
