Think solar panels and a battery automatically keep your home powered during a power cut? Not quite.
A standard grid‑connected solar system must shut down when the grid cuts out. It’s a built‑in safety requirement in Ireland to protect ESB workers.
If you want your home and essential appliances to stay running during an outage, your system needs proper backup hardware, not just panels and a battery.
In this video, Mark breaks down one of the biggest myths in solar: what actually happens during a power cut and what equipment you need if backup power is important to you.
Thinking about solar? Make sure you know exactly what your system will and won’t do before you choose it. ☀️🔋
