By default, most solar systems in the UK do not work during a power cut. This is a safety requirement to protect utility workers from electricity flowing back into the grid while they’re doing repairs.
✅ But at Sunmate, We’ve Got You Covered
We offer an affordable upgrade: a changeover switch.
This clever add-on lets your solar system safely power your home during an outage by disconnecting it from the grid and switching to solar-only mode.
⚙️ How It Works:
- When there’s a power cut, the changeover switch isolates your home from the grid
- Your solar system (and battery, if installed) continues to power your lights, fridge, Wi-Fi, etc.
- No need for a generator or waiting in the dark!
💡 Summary
Without the switch: ❌ No power during outages
With Sunmate’s switch: ✅ Solar keeps your home running safely
