Prepare your solar or solar system for an emergency such as a storm, earthquake or unexpected power outage.
In this short video, we simulate a power outage to show how your solar and battery system kicks into action when the grid goes down. You’ll learn how to manage your energy use, prioritise important loads, and make the most of your stored power until the grid is restored.
Give it a watch and try your own simulation to ensure you and your family are ready if a power cut happens at your place.
We've also put together a a handy Solar System Emergency Preparedness Guide which you can download and keep for future reference. It covers what to check, which loads to prioritise, and how to safely restart your system once power returns.
We hope you find this information useful. A few minutes of preparation now can make a big difference later!
