How long will solar panels provide power if the grid is down? Does the average home solar panel setup have the ability to store energy? School me on home solar panels, and their useage in an emergency situation.
In: Engineering
If your solar panels are tied into the grid, then you lose power when the grid goes down. Grid connected systems do not directly power the home. They supply power directly to the utility company, and that value is removed from your bill.
You would have to have a home battery system and have someone with the electrical know-how to reroute your power from the grid to the batteries.
