In a new report, the SAFE Grid Security Project warns the US grid faces increasing risks from extreme weather, cyberattacks, and inadequate infrastructure as energy demands grow more complex.

    With (only) rooftop solar you’re still dependent at night, and during the day when it’s cloudy.

      You are correct. I am on the grid instead of having a battery.

      But any minute I might just buy a battery!

        FYI, right now LiFePo server rack style batteries seem to be the best bang for your buck. If I had the money, I would buy the EG4 or similar.
