Power Outages—What’s in Your Inverter?
With all the crazy weather lately and only two months into our five month hurricane season, power outages have been on everybody’s mind. Solar powered energy systems until recently were not immune to power outages because the inverter used to convert the power used to only work if the electric grid was alive. When the HELCO power went out, so did the solar system; even if the sun was shining.
That has all changed. At Provision Solar we strive to bring you the most innovative, simple and affordable energy solutions. In May of this year we began installing a new generation of solar inverters that can work even if HELCO is down. There are no batteries and you still are connected to the grid.
For those rare but critical times when power is out, you can now disconnect temporarily from the grid and have power when the sun is up. No generator needed during the day so you can save on fuel. It is called a Secure Power Supply. We have installed dozens of them and when the power went out last week this is what one customer had to say “My power was out for one full day. My Secure Power Supply kept my refrigerator running during the day and my food did not spoil. I’m so glad I had this option.”
Hurricane season is not over—it runs through November 30th. Call ProVision Solar today to learn more about Secure Power. 808-969-3281
