The ONLY reason to install a Solar system is to achieve a level of independence in the event the grid goes down.
The majority of systems installed today are designed to cut power when they determine the grid is down. That can be remedied. But it takes more equipment and money.
when the grid goes down your panels go down unless you have a battery back up system
Had someone bid a solar system to the grid for me.
I cannot make it work here in the northern climes

So about that! I am working with these systems in a support role.
Our utilities actually shut them when the power goes out to prevent power back feeding into the lines.
Yeah that doesnt make sense and takes away a benefit of them .
