You need to look more closely into what happens with a grid-tied solar system during a power outage. I believe they are wired so as not to provide power during an outage to protect power company people. If you have a battery system then that is a different situation.

It is is tough to sift through, educate yourselves about solar prior to speaking with the first contractor.

Have your tax professional explain the federal tax incentives to you how they work and what it takes to qualify. The contractors continually uptalk the tax break.
