Not sure why this is a surprise to anyone. They're talking about grid-tied solar, which uses credit from power fed into the grid in the place of a battery. It reduces cost of installation and maintenance by a significant factor, probably 75%, so that's what most people go for. But without a grid tie-in, it doesn't work at all.
And these outages aren't all on PG&E. Keep in mind that the crazy leftists blocked them from maintaining and upgrading the transmission lines because of their environment obsession, then sued them, when the unmaintained lines sparked fires in the areas the leftists claimed to be protecting.

So be aware that PG&E fired their white engineers and replaced them with street shitters.

I did not know that. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any documentation, links, etc?
