One major drawback of many conventional solar photovoltaic power systems is that the generated electricity cannot be utilized when it may be of vital importance, such as during power blackouts after a natural disaster. A majority of household solar photovoltaic power generation systems are self-sustaining and equipped with an outlet for power, so even if a blackout occurs a certain amount of generated power can be utilized. However, most power generation systems for industrial and public use are not equipped with such features.

For this reason, preparedness such as utilization of unused energy and installation of storage batteries at emergency shelters and disaster prevention centers are essential in ensuring vital energy supplies are available at times of crisis; during a natural disaster. Various government agencies are carrying out subsidized projects to facilitate adoption of disaster resilient, independent and distributed energy systems that have renewable energy at their core.
