Solar grid-tied PV systems automatically shut off during a grid outage unless paired with a solar battery. If you have a solar grid-tied PV system, it will restart once grid power returns. However, if you’re concerned about strong winds or are evacuating, consider additional precautions. For instance, you can turn off the safety disconnect for your Solar grid-tied PV system before or during a major storm. This ensures no issues arise if windborne debris damages the panels or the roof area where they’re installed. If your Solar PV system includes batteries, it should remain operational during a grid outage, providing limited power. Monitor your battery power levels. If the battery fully discharges during an outage and there’s insufficient Solar Energy for recharging, a certified professional might need to manually recharge it. Conserve energy when battery levels are low and Solar Energy isn’t available for recharging.
