I have solar and even I'm still nervous. Having solar means squat if the whole county or city goes dark.

Aren’t some units being returned to service before then, though?

From the sounds of things, they are postponing the other unit going off until looooong after winter

Yup the only time I've had this much was in December when they gave my area a break cause of the storms.

[Lupus]
