Prepare for Grid Outages and Stay Powered

As a preventative measure during critical fire weather conditions, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) will occasionally turn off power in several communities around the County. Tens of thousands of San Diegans were affected in October 2019. These preventative outages are likely to become a common occurrence in Southern California.

Blackout Protection

One solution to protect your family, assets, and lifestyle during blackouts are home batteries.
 
 

Safeguard against high rates

Additionally, with Time-of-Use rates a new reality, regardless of whether or not you have a solar system in place, your power bill may surprise you simply because you are using electricity from the grid at the same time as everyone else – making each kWh more expensive.
