Hello,
Glad to be here. Lots to learn. Hope I can be of help as well.
Building a first 400w Solar Power System for outages.
Hope to expand it soon, but I need to walk before I run.
Thanks again!

Welcome to the forum.
What part of CA are you in?
 
400W should be good as backup for communication gear. With an AC charger and (PTC?) fused 12V cables, it should keep lots of modem, router, etc. stuff working.

You can build something bigger next, but it'll never be enough to keep all things going during a grid outage, so first system as backup for critical loads would be good. First system 12V, big system 48V.
