Will my solar array continue to produce power if the electricity goes out?

For Net Metered solar systems your system will NOT continue to produce power if the electricity goes out. In order to protect the utility company’s workers that may be servicing the power lines in the event of an outage, the system will automatically shut off, only to power back up when service is restored.

For systems under the self supply program, your solar array will still produce power, sending it to your battery for home consumption.
