Power Outage And Solar Panels

The usual go to for backup power is a gas or diesel powered generator but there s another more environmentally friendly option.

Power outage and solar panels.

That s the system that lets homeowners store electricity from the power grid or from rooftop solar panels so it can be used during a power outage. Power outages are usually due to a disruption somewhere between the electricity supplier and homeowners. This is because they can continuously supply you with electricity despite outages. Utilities can also shut down if they think the grid will become overloaded.

So on those types of situations having a solar panel is an advantage. If the grid would go down a solar system may produce 30 kwh kilowatt hours in a day however your business house is trying to consume 35 kwh. This power outage would include your solar panel system. One of the reasons for a shutdown is to protect utility technicians who are sent to fix damaged power lines.

There is a significant advantage of using solar panels as your primary or even your secondary source of electricity. Solar panels produce varying amounts of electricity per day depending on the sun s location or amount of clouds etc and a typical household business uses varying amounts of electricity per day.
