Preparing for Fire Season
With the arrival of the Summer Solstice comes a clear indication that fire season has truly begun. Already we’ve had some fire activity in Northern California, and that doesn’t seem to be slowing any time soon. During fire season, it is critical that you have a means of protecting yourself from outages, and that we all contribute where we can to support the grid during times of peak instability. Solar is key for removing strain from the grid, and with battery storage you can keep the lights on if the power goes out.
