What will happen to a Grid Connect system during an electrical black out?
By law, any solar electricity system without generator backup must shut down until utility power returns in order to assure a safe working environment for utility line workers. The grid connect inverter will automatically shut itself off within a few milliseconds of a blackout, to avoid the potential of a dangerous “brown-out” in your home and to prevent back feeding the grid. You will need a battery back-up system to maintain power during a blackout. Discuss the basic requirements of this with your Power Partner.
