Power On: Solar Saves You When the Grid Goes Down

Nobody likes it when the power goes out, whether it's a storm, a damaged transformer or an overloaded grid. Outages can be dangerous, especially for people who rely on medical equipment. For them (and for the food in your refrigerator), solar plus battery backup can be a lifesaver.

How battery storage protects you

Severe weather is causing more frequent and longer outages. Solar panels alone aren't enough. Without battery backup, a grid-tied system shuts off when the grid does. Battery storage is what keeps your home, farm or business powered.

Businesses use batteries to cut energy costs and lower their carbon footprint, and newer batteries can store enough energy to ride out long outages.

What can solar do when the power goes out?

With today's batteries, you can do more than keep one light on:

• Keep the refrigerator, AC or furnace running in summer heat or winter cold
• Keep critical business systems running
• Keep vital medical equipment powered for children or elderly family members

When keeping the lights on is about more than comfort, solar with battery storage is the way to go. Let Solar Sam help you stay safe even when the lights go out.
