Staying Powerful: Utilizing Photovoltaic Cells During Electricity Outages in Times of Crisis

Photovoltaic cells can be a useful alternative power source during electricity outages, but it’s important to follow the guidelines set by the Electricity Authority. In light of potential issues with electricity supply due to conflict with Hezbollah, the authority is increasing public awareness on this matter.

To utilize a photovoltaic panel during a power outage, a special hybrid switch needs to be purchased and installed. The cost of this switch can vary from several hundred to several thousand shekels and must be installed by a certified electrician. This switch is designed to automatically disconnect the home from the power grid in case of a fault, allowing the solar panels to continue providing electricity without interruption.

This technology provides a reliable alternative power source during times of emergency and ensures that households remain powered even when the grid is down. By following these guidelines and utilizing this technology, households can stay connected and continue their daily routines even in times of crisis.
