What a load of utter NONSENSE. Solar panels work FINE during a blackout (daylight hours, of course) Merely buying the most basic "grid tie" inverter with no DC-DC charging capability and no batteries will not provide you with autonomy, nor does it purport to. I live off-grid and precisely DO have power during the frequent blackouts in the villages further down the mountain from me. (electrical lines on wooden poles that falling trees take out.) I additionally don't find the headline to be very productive: It is untrue. It is sensationalist. It causes doubt in solar panels, of all things. (some of the most reliable devices I can think of...) All of this at a time when (socially irresponsible) Bloomberg could be part of the push away from fossil fuels... Mr. Bloomberg himself, as Bezos and Gates, could also probably pitch-in a bit more in helping get the general American machine to realize it's duties with-regards-to the survival of large mammalian life on earth circa 2019, but I digress... https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/13/firms-ignoring-climate-crisis-bankrupt-mark-carney-bank-england-governor https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/13/firms-ig...
