DFW TX here -- power went out at 530am Tues morning, and as of writing this (Wednesday morning) still isn't back on.
my 6000XP and 2x EG4 Indoor batteries are handling it fine. I work nights, so actually got an alert from my EG4 app saying "no AC in" -- checked home cameras from work and got to saw whole neighborhood lose power live. Trees down, and even 20 hours after the hit, there's still about 375k people without power .
I *just* got most of my system online and will admit to being a bit worried about the ground mount system I built holding up to something this wicked, apparently I did a good job because nothing is out of place, blown away, or damaged. (poor quality pic attached) The reports in the area were of 95mph winds, but luckily my panels were mostly shielded just by the way they are setup.
It was a pretty slick feeling driving home in the AM knowing power is out and pulling into the driveway and just hitting the garage door opener button like normal and everything still working fine. Or resting easy knowing all the groceries I just bought yesterday are zero risk of going bad since it's on backup power. I have most of my home full time on solar/battery transfer switch, the only two big things are central HVAC and a 18kw tankless water heater. The cold shower getting ready for work was.... interesting to say the least, fast way to wake up for sure.
I can setup portable HVAC and run off solar/battery if it ever gets insanely hot (like it will over the next month) but at least the temps were mild/easy today. Surprisingly the sun came out and charged my whole system back up to 80+% during the day as I slept.
Overall I'm incredibly pleased with this sort of trial by fire situation, the past 20+ hours could have sucked but it was mostly a normal day for me thanks to full power backup solar+battery
Not pictured -- recently installed big red rapid shut down button mounted directly to the conduit box, very solid, had to test it of course, and it works!
