solar-electric-backup-521x292When one thinks of disasters like hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes, we usually think of immediate dangers, which is not a bad thing. But, most of us often ignore the problems that linger for a long duration even after the disaster is over. One such issue is that of an elongated power outage. A regular grid-tied system won’t offer solar electric backup in such events. There are several technologies still in their infancy, such as hydrogen fuel cells that can’t be used by the homeowners. Similarly, we still have to wait for years before electric vehicles are able to solve the energy-related issues of the home. A wise idea is to use a backup transfer switch so that you can use any type of portable generator for powering all the lights and appliances safely. You can also rely upon propane generator. One of the popular alternatives is to install a grid-tied system with a battery backup. Connect with us today for solar panel installation in your area.
