[quote=creechrr][quote=UCGal][quote=carlsbadworker]I was curious if people who has solar panel installed, do they got outage as well? And why nuclear power plant also has to be shutdown when you need them.[/quote]
San Onofre tripping off is the biggest problem I see. Seems like a serious grid design flaw.
I’ll ask my neighbors weather they kept power with their panels… I’m not sure if they have the battery bank, or just feed back to the grid. I would imagine you’d run out of power in the evening if you don’t have the battery bank.[/quote]
I’m curious how other systems work but, my system shuts down when power is lost on the grid. It’s suppose to be a safety feature to prevent someone working on the line from getting zapped.
Also, the system shuts itself down at night. Battery systems are hugely expensive.[/quote]Yep. Just talked to my neighbor… there is a shutoff system so the solar arrays don’t back feed the grid and put line workers at risk. He didn’t have batteries either… uses the grid as the capacitor for the system.
