A properly sized solar panel system can produce enough electricity to power essential household appliances during an outage. A battery backup system can be installed to store excess solar energy during an outage. It is important to note that during a prolonged power outage, a solar panel system may not be able to power an entire house.
To keep your power on in a blackout, you need a solar inverter that can remove your home from the grid, along with a generator or battery for longer-term energy needs. By creating your own little “island” of a home with solar panels and batteries, you can run essential appliances for days during a power outage.
In a blackout situation, the power from your solar panels goes nowhere - unless you have some way of storing the electricity (with a battery) or otherwise cutting your system off from the grid. In this video Will White explains what it takes to ensure you have power with solar during an outage:
Unlike solar without batteries (i.e. a grid-tied solar system), a solar-plus-battery installation keeps your power on by “islanding,” or disconnecting itself from the grid when an outage is detected. While the blackout remains in effect, your little solar island will charge the batteries during the day and discharge them at night.
