The Red Flag area looks very localized to hill areas. We are in the area by 1/2 mile since we live at the foot of the hills. The remainder of the city of Pleasanton is outside. Here is the Red Flag map from NWS.

These storm watches are the only way I can charge from grid on a solar-connected system. I manually turn off storm watch at 7AM and stretch out my peak hours to include the shoulder hours to maximize cost savings. Turn storm watch back on before I go to bed.
Looks like the entire Bay Area is getting power shut down tomorrow.
I think the murder hornets will invade on Monday.
Not really, narrower subset although from PG&E’s update video it looks like north of bay is all red flag territory, but not all potential shutdown areas. They have posted the counties/cities affected possibly by PSPS starting tomorrow, Sat. 25 -27. And you can input your address for more precise outage info.
Being valley located and not immediately near ranges we’re not on the list this morning but last night my husband noticed our system app indicated Storm Watch Active for the first time. Kind of strange since we’re not expected to be included in this round. We don’t have PTO yet but he did use the grid to charge our PWs during off-peak hours late last night so now at 98% should things change weather wise. Not expecting PTO until first week or two of November. Really hope we don’t see fires anywhere. I did notice the Creek Fire by Mammoth Lakes is still burning with lots of GPS indicators of fires in the area.

Agreed. We are seriously considering adding a 3rd.And people wonder why the lead time on powerwalls is so long, and getting longer..... Tesla could likely sell every powerall they make into just northern california for the next 6 months.

Nice. Had I know how much I would like them I would have ordered 3 to start.We upped ours to 3 while waiting for install figuring we would mostly want the extra hours of use during A/C weather timeframe and 2 wouldn’t cut it for our older 5 ton unit on whole house back up. We have a gas furnace so much less of draw during winter, although solar to replenish will be reduced. Right now we think 3 will be good for our use and will be interesting to see how it pans out during a year. Ours are stacked 2/1 so potentially could comfortably fit a 4th unit if need be.

So are you attempting to go "off grid" year round?Agreed. We are seriously considering adding a 3rd.
What is your annual goal? To be off grid year round?We upped ours to 3 while waiting for install figuring we would mostly want the extra hours of use during A/C weather timeframe and 2 wouldn’t cut it for our older 5 ton unit on whole house back up.

Not trying to be off-grid all year.So are you attempting to go "off grid" year round?
