I do nothing. All my power automatically reverts to a battery bank/twin inverters that can run my house for three days with no grid power or sunlight. After that (if it ever happened) I've got 5400 watts in solar panels, several diesel generators and 1000 gallons of diesel fuel.

Before I had this system, I hooked my tractor to a 17KW PTO generator and did fine.

I'll never understand people who live in cold areas and need electricity for heat and water . . . that have money to blow on other things but do nothing to prepare for power or food outages. Even worse with farmers and 60 cows to milk and no backup power which is cruel to the animals. Most farmers however DO have backup power. And the Amish have extra people to help as "backup."
