“Micro-Grid” This Is a Game Changer

by Russ Gallo | May 24, 2022 | Home & Garden

The new generation of solar panels will now work when the grid goes down. Older systems (prior to November of 2021) will not work when we have a power outage, but the good news is that most solar panel systems can be upgraded to the new micro-grid systems. What is a Micro-grid? It is a self-sustained grid exclusively for your home or business, and it means that when we have a power outage your solar panel system is still producing power for your home.
The new generation of solar production will create a personal home micro-grid for you, which will produce working electrical power for your home 100% of the time. These new systems will give you true independence from your utility provider. This is a real game changer in the world of solar panels.
The price of solar has come down, and with the recent increase in electrical rates, the return on investment (ROI) has never been better. Rebates are still generous, and your solar panel system is the best hedge on inflation. Your solar panel system can help get you through these crazy times with the grid becoming more unreliable by the day. The simple fact is that the government will not expand the grid, and in California electrical load demand is increasing by 3.9% annually, and that demand (rates are increasing 10% annually) will have an adverse effect on everyone’s financial security. This will increase the probability of more power outages, and a tremendous loss of productivity in California. The good news is that you can do something about this crisis.
