• For power outages to be reduced, or cease
  altogether, the power grid would need to undergo
  substantial improvements and inclement weather
  would need to happen less frequently. Since
  neither of these things are likely to happen
  anytime soon, what can you do to protect yourself
  from the increasing occurrence of power outages?
• Fortunately, if youre willing to invest in solar
  technology for your home or business, youll find
  a way to protect yourself from power outages.
  However, it isnt as simple as just having solar
  panels installed, and heres why

• What happens to solar energy systems if the power
  grid fails?
• Every time the power grid fails, solar energy
  systems shut off, but if you invest in solar
  battery backup, you can switch the power supply
  to your home or business from your solar panels,
  to solar panel batteries, and its simple, too.
• How do solar batteries work?
• At times when your solar panels are producing
  more power than is required for your home or
  business, you have the option to store the
  surplus power in solar batteries, which can then
  be used to power your home at night, or during a
  power outage.

• How does it work?
• Firstly, solar panels harvest sunshine
• Secondly, a device called a microinverter
  converts that sunshine into a form of energy for
  you to use in your home
• Then, the appliances and HVAC system in your home
  can use the solar energy they need to operate
• Lastly, any solar power that isnt used, is
  stored in the solar batteries for you to access
  whenever you need it

• What are the other benefits of solar energy
  batteries?
• Aside from powering your home during a grid
  blackout, solar energy batteries also enable you
  to
• Have enough energy to power your home should
  routine maintenance be taking place on power
  lines
• Save money on your energy bills
• Control your energy usage better at home
• Be free from rates that increase during peak
  energy usage hours
• Be independent from the power grid in the evenings

• Lithium-ion batteries are the ideal kind thanks
  to their longer lifespan and ability to hold a
  charge for longer than other types of batteries,
  but its important to discuss the options in
  detail with your local solar provider. They will
  talk to you about the amount of energy you
  consume at home, the size of your solar panel
  system and the equipment and appliances your
  system powers.
• So, to protect yourself from the increasing
  frequency of power outages and tap into one of
  the worlds cleanest, greenest power sources, why
  not make the switch to solar today, and include
  backup batteries in your package.
