Nathan , 4 days ago @xyhhx @dangillmor @pluralistic >your home solar stops working if the grid fails This was a common discovery after Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, those that sell power to the grid fail when there is no grid. Those type of solar installs are primarily designed to make money, electricity is a byproduct. Solar installs that are stand alone or have no way to feed to the grid work just fine when the power's out. My solar array runs my air conditioner with no grid needed, but I paid for and built mine without financing.
