Western Orange County NY here..... we got slammed. Got about 1/4" of ice followed by 15" of snow followed by another 1/4" of ice. StormWatch was active since Sunday morning. The storm started Sunday afternoon.
PW's were at 100% when we lost power at about noon yesterday (Monday). Heavy ice and snow covering panels so zero solar production. Grid came back up for about 2 hours from 6pm to 8pm before crashing again. StormWatch was still active when power came back on, and the PW's were promptly topped off from the grid! Took them from 84% back up to 100% very quickly. I noticed the 2 PW's were drawing 6.7kw during the charge.
Grid is still down here since 8pm last night (going on 13 hours). PW's are at 81% capacity. I need to go outside and get on the ladder with the rubber rake to try and clean the panels. I think we could be off grid for another 24 hours judging from the looks of this mess.
Very very very pleased with the way the system is performing. StormWatch really helped during the 2 hour period when the grid came back up by allowing the PW's to get topped off. We have had zero solar production since Sunday morning.
