Will I have electricity during a power outage?Yes - If you install at grid tied solar electricity system with a battery or generator backup, you will have electricity during a power outage. Systems with these backups are common but they add substantial monetary and maintenance factors. No - If you install a grid tied solar electricity system with no battery or generator back-up, you will not have electricity during a power outage. The main reason for this is safety. The power generated by your solar electricity system flows back to the grid. During a power outage, your solar electricity system is still producing power. If that power continued to flow back to the grid, workers attempting to restore grid power could be inadvertently injured. When no power is available from the grid, the inverter circuits switch open so that no power can be transmitted to the grid. The panels on the roof are still producing voltage but no power is flowing from the panels to the grid.
