What Happens to Solar Panels During a Power Outage?

A hybrid inverter with a battery isolates your home from the grid and keeps supplying selected circuits from solar and storage.

Plan before the storm

Rainy season outages are common. Decide which loads are critical and size the battery accordingly.
