Still not enough to buy the Twins. We need more revenue streams if weāre gonna get it done.

Thereās another quarter for the jar.

My current plan is squeegee and a hose as I have a one level ranch where getting on the roof is not too difficult (for now). There are enough solar panels around where I live (SF Bay area) that there are folks who offer the service.
Weāve had our system for about three years now, but I have not noticed any loss of power production over that time. Could be that the heavy winter rains wash them clean each season.

I got one of these after Beryl. I havenāt had it during an outage yet, but I did test it to see how long it would power my fridge. About eight hours. Recharging solar took about four hours from 20% to 80%. If you can plug it into your neighbors generator it charges very quickly in about an hour. I can also recharge it from my Chevy bolt.

This seems to be the YouTube reviewersā whole house battery system of choice.
It can run 240V appliances and is stackable/expandable; once you have the inverter, you can daisy chain a bunch of batteries for the capacity you want. And the inverter lets you recharge the system from solar, generator or mains.
It aināt cheap though, at $5k for a āstarter packā of the inverter and one battery pack.

Theyāre actually running a sale right now. The inverter/battery and one extra battery for $3,599. Itās looking pretty tempting.

Iām seriously thinking about getting a generator switch added to my breaker box so that I can have one of these.
Iām all electric, so I canāt even warm up food when the power goes out.

I never leave home without it.
Somebody needs to figure out the breaker box equivalent of software-defined networking, so that you can group arbitrary circuits in the box into ācircuit groupsā that can be served by switches to switch between the main feed and a backup unit such as this. I can probably get an electrician in to split things out now so I can put the refrigerator and a bedroom and bathroom in a separate group, but if I start using the house differently and want to use different circuits, I have to get the electrician out again to rewire things.
