  1. Surviving With Solar When the Grid Goes Down

  2. A vast web of interconnected power lines, power plants and electrical substations, the U.S. power grid is responsible for transmitting electricity to millions of homes, and surviving without it, is impossible for many. However, if you’ve invested in a solar system and had it professionally installed on the roof of your home, then not only surviving, but thriving, becomes possible in the absence of the grid.

  3. Surviving when the grid goes down Having an understanding of how the grid works, an awareness of the issues with the current grid power generation and learning what the impact of using non-renewables has on the environment and the planet as a whole, can help you take steps towards preparing your home in the event that the grid goes down, but ultimately, it won’t stop those power outages from occurring. Now, while the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) states that a funding gap of almost $200 billion could help to vastly improve the reliability and security of the grid, there’s no guarantees that this will happen anytime soon. So, to survive when the grid goes down, what else can you do as a homeowner?

  4. Go solar Having a solar power system installed at your home (either on the ground close to it or on the roof) along with solar battery backup, could help you power your home when the grid goes down, while also helping to preserve the environment and reduce your energy bills. Sound too good to be true? It really isn’t. Solar panels take the energy from the sun’s rays and store it for you to use when powering your home, and in the event that the grid goes down for any reason, you can rely on the stored energy to keep your home illuminated and all your electrical appliances functioning. However, only with a battery backup, will your solar system enable your home to power itself fully in the absence of the grid. Let’s look at why:

  5. Why a solar system with battery backup, is the ultimate power saving combination Investing in a high powered solar battery to complement your solar panel system is the best way to give yourself lasting power when the grid goes down. By combining them both, you can create a reliable and outage-resistant solar system capable of bringing you power, when you need it the most. Solar panels alone can help you conserve energy and reduce your utility bills, but when coupled with a battery, the entire system becomes ultra-efficient and guarantees you power no matter what’s happening around you, or with the rest of the world.

  6. To discover more of the benefits of a solar system with battery backup, and how it can help you power your home during a grid blackout, consult with a local solar power system provider.
