When the grid goes down for long-haul irrespective of the season, whether it is summers or winter it is itself pretty exhausting. But if you have a grid-tie system with standby generators installed, the inverter will disconnect the solar back feed from solar panel installations and switches on the generator automatically.

If you are using generator backup, the only disadvantage it has is that one can’t enjoy the aid of the energy generated by solar panels. The truth behind the same is that generator backup runs on different fuels such as natural gas, gasoline, diesel and propane. Each has its own gain and loss.

In the case of solar panels with battery backup, one is able to utilize the energy generated by the solar panels. Moreover, it is independent of the utility company and periodic maintenance. Also, doesn’t need refueling or periodic fuel replacement.
