Getting energy from an on-grid solar system during a powercut might seem tricky, but it's possible with the right setup. Here's a simple explanation of how it works:
-
Solar Panels: First, you need solar panels on your roof. These solar panels soak up sunlight and turn it into electricity, which goes to your home.
-
Inverter: The electricity generated by the solar panels is in a special form called DC. To use it in your home, you need an inverter. It changes DC into the AC power your appliances use.
-
Grid Connection: Normally, your extra electricity goes back to the grid. But during a blackout, the grid is off, and your solar system usually stops working to prevent accidents.
-
Battery Backup: To get energy during a blackout, you'll need a battery backup system. This stores the excess energy your panels make during the day for use at night or during blackouts.
-
Switching Control: A special switch or control system helps you disconnect from the grid when there's a blackout and use the stored energy from your batteries to power your home.
-
Enjoy Electricity: Now, your solar system can keep your lights on, fridge running, and devices charged, even when the grid is down.
Remember, it's essential to have a qualified technician set up your solar system and battery backup to ensure it's safe and works correctly during blackouts.
