Your Solar Panels don’t Work When The Grid Goes Down

Solar panels don't work when the power goes out. In this video, I'm taking a closer look at the components installed in a grid tied solar panels system and what is needed in order to retrofit a grid-tied solar panel system to operate off grid.

Most solar panel owners are familiar with "Rapid shutdown". This regulation requires grid tied solar panels system to shut down quickly when the system is disconnected from the grid. This is often referred to as "UL 1741 and Rule 21" see the reference below for more information.

Contrary to what a lot of people think solar panels are not only required to shut down when the power goes out BUT they also are unable to produce solar independent of the grid. There are several electrical devices that are needed in order to allow a grit tied solar panel system to provide backup power.
