In light of the potential electricity supply issues due to the conflict with Hezbollah, the Electricity Authority has recently released guidelines for using photovoltaic cells during power outages. The authority aims to increase public awareness on this matter and encourage households to invest in alternative power sources.
To utilize a photovoltaic panel during a power outage, a special hybrid switch needs to be purchased and installed. These switches can range in cost from several hundred to several thousand shekels and must be installed by a certified electrician. However, the investment is worth it as these switches provide a reliable alternative power source during times of emergency.
The hybrid switch is designed to automatically disconnect the home from the power grid in the event of a fault, allowing the solar panels to continue providing electricity to the home without interruption. This technology can ensure that households remain powered even when the grid is down and provide peace of mind during times of uncertainty.
