Does a Solar Battery Work in a Blackout?

Your solar system will immediately shut down during a grid failure. This is a mandatory safety feature integrated into every compliant solar system in Australia.

By combining a compatible solar battery system with an inverter and solar panels, your home can safely disconnect from the grid and function as its own mini power station.

However, not all solar battery systems offer blackout protection.

The ideal setup is one that meets your household needs. During the day, your solar panels will recharge the battery while also supplying power to your home. At night or during a blackout, the battery will take over and power your home.
