Solar systems in Fort Myers, FL can help safeguard your family the next time a hurricane hits and the grid goes down. Naturally, there is no guarantee your solar panels will survive a direct hit, or that your batteries will survive a flood. But, solar systems are designed to hold up against high winds and extreme weather. So, unless your home is directly hit by a hurricane, your solar system will survive.
Keep in mind, there are two types of solar systems. A grid-tied solar system takes the electricity generated by your solar panels and feeds it into the regional power grid. In return, your monthly energy bill is reduced or eliminated. If your home exceeds the limits of your solar system, you can still draw power from the grid. However, if the grid goes down, you will still be without power, despite having solar panels on your roof.
An off-grid solar system stores the electricity produced by the solar panels in a battery system. With an off-grid system, you’ll be energy-independent, and your lights will remain on, even if the grid goes down. However, you may need to reduce your energy consumption, to avoid overwhelming your system. For example, an air conditioner can draw more power than your solar panels produce. A third option is a hybrid solar system, that is tied to the grid, but has a backup battery for emergencies.
