This is certainly important considering the changing climate, but it’s just one component of the overall strategy.
The price of installation is still too expensive for most homeowners. There are only a few financial institutions that are geared towards lending for renewable/sustainable energy installs that literally swap the homeowners monthly electric bill for their monthly loan payment, until they reach their ROI.
Battery technology is still miles away from being affordable and capable of retaining large amounts of stored energy, that has a small footprint and is affordable.
These are the things that need to be improved, along with better marketing and education to reach our goals of clean and sustainable energy IMHO.

I feel that the idea is very sound and with some effort is achievable. In our country which has similar climatic conditions as in California we are trying to establish a large amount of plantations for tackling environmental problems. In few years our situation may be similar to countries with lots of plantation and with possibility of fire.

“Solar combined with storage has a crucial role to play in the next decade as climate change effects worsen and energy independence becomes more and more necessary for homeowners and business owners.”

A new day has dawned. People are finding out by way of the PSPS, that they CAN do without utility power and DON’T have to have full power for every circuit in the Circuit breaker panel to keep moving on through such things as weather outages, PSPS events and just plain old utility incompetence in their operations and operation choices that cost ratepayers more on their electric bill each month.
