I have 76 solar panels which powers my entire house which is all electric. It is connected to the grid. I've put power back into the grid since the panels were up and running.
I understand if the grid goes down so does the use of my panels. I also understand I should be able to shut of connection to grid and still use the power from my panels during the daytime w/o having batteries. I'm not an electrician and find everything on the internet either doesn't apply or is confusing. They say I'd need a DC to DC inverter. I already have two inverters that I though were DC to AC feeding the 240 volts back into the electric panel. Question is; If the grid goes down long term, I want to be able to still use the power from my panels during the day. How is that done and what is needed to make it possible?
I would hire an electrician btw.
