What is the impact of recent widespread power outages on the demand for home solar power systems with backup capabilities?

Germany's average household experienced only 12.8 minutes of power outage in 2023, highlighting the country's reliable electricity grid. However, a growing number of new photovoltaic systems (around 70% with storage) are equipped for emergency power, offering households backup power during outages.", "The increasing demand for emergency power features in PV systems reflects a shift in consumer priorities, driven by concerns about grid stability. Around 80% of new PV installations include battery storage, enabling approximately half of new installations to provide power during outages.", "Future trends indicate a heightened focus on energy independence and resilience against grid failures. The capability of PV systems to provide backup power, particularly the "island mode" enabling continuous supply during daylight hours, will likely become a standard feature, impacting infrastructure resilience.", Q1="What is the impact of recent widespread power outages on the demand for home solar power systems with backup capabilities?", Q2="How do different types of backup power systems (emergency vs. replacement power) in home solar installations function and what are the differences in their capabilities?", Q3="What are the potential long-term implications of integrating backup power solutions into home solar installations for critical infrastructure and national grid resilience?", ShortDescription="Widespread power outages in Spain have increased demand for home solar systems offering backup power, with approximately 70% of new systems in Germany equipped for emergency power and around half of these providing power during outages; Germany's power grid remains highly reliable with average outages of only 12.8 minutes in 2023.", ShortTitle="Demand for Backup Power in Home Solar Systems Rises After Iberian Peninsula Blackout"))
