I think one of the appeals of solar is in a catastrophe you could still have power. If the grid is down it does nothing for you

That was the marketing in the past, to make up for the fact that it wasn't cheaper than regular grid gas. Especially since solar doesn't do anything for grid dependency on its own, so I don't even know how they sold that. I guess it helps in daytime during sunny days but that's it.

Now it's cheaper than gas so there's no extra reason you need. Of course you can add a battery, but that's only a big deal for like 5% of people or less.
