Rolling blackout in Texas calls for solar panels and battery storage.

A high time to In the United States, power outages has been on the rise for a decade. Currently, more or less, all United States experiences electric outages than ever due to heavy snow and bad weather. Currently, the state of Texas is freezing, and the state is recording the coldest temperature in 30 years. Such weather conditions are challenging for utilities to meet Texas energy demand. The state’s grid operator will have to rotate blackouts early on Monday, and Tuesday, if needed. The outage will put over two million Texans in the dark. That means the capacity of Texas’ power grid, most of which is run by conventional energy sources like coal and natural gas, will be put to the test. As per the sources, there are chances of rolling blackouts in Texas or “rotating outages.” If we talk about the climate crisis Texans are facing right now, a clear-eyed and honest evaluation and potential of solar power is the need of the hour. And that real value must be reflected in Texas energy policies. Texas ranks fourth in the country in a total solar generation but eighth in rooftop solar power generation
