Is your home powered by clean energy?
We decided to get solar & backup battery power after winter storm Uri, which further broke our already broken power grid here in Texas. We consider it an expensive insurance policy against being without power again for 40+ hours, and it worked just last week when our neighborhood lost power dozens of times during the ice storm here in central Texas.
We never lost power. There was no sun during the worst of it, so thankfully the grid power mostly stayed on during that time...
