Power cuts and Solar Power - It is often assumed that if you have Solar Panels and there is a power cut that, assuming the sun is shining, you will have power. This is not necessarily the case. Most systems will shut down immediately the grid power is lost. This is a safety feature to make sure that there is no possibility of power being pushed into the grid from a Solar PV system if it is being worked on. There is, however, a solution that will work in the event of a power cut but it has to be designed to work in that way to provide a back-up system.
