Hello friends. I was wondering if anyone has any information on how I could get my solar up and running in a disaster type situation.
I have a Solar Edge SE7600H-US with 24 lg panels and Solar Edge power optimizers.
After purchasing this setup I do not have the funds for a professional battery backup so I am looking for a way to turn the solar on in an emergency. Say there is a long term disaster scenario and the grid is not coming back online any time soon. What can I do to get these turned on?
I know the installers setup the inverter so it hooks directly into the main lugs on my panel. They said it needs to see grid power before it could turn on.
Stupid idea likely but just spitballing here. What If I took a car battery and a small inverter and put power to those wires? Would that activate the inverter?
If I was able to scavenge car batteries and wiring could I setup a battery backup?
Sorry if this sounds stupid. I was honestly surprised to hear my panels wouldn't work in an outage after I had already signed the contract. I understand I don't have batteries but I thought I would be good while the sun was out like if I was running a generator.
Any knowledge is helpful. Thank you
