Islanding and Batteries: What You Need to Know | EnergySage
A common misconception about solar panel systems is that they automatically continue to produce electricity if the grid goes down, so long as the sun is shining. All inverters are required to be able to be "anti-island." In other words, solar inverters are explicitly designed not to allow your solar panels to continue to push electricity into your home in the event of an outage.
