Thanksgiving is all about gratitude—family, health, great food, and the comforts we often take for granted. But this year, many Southern California families are adding something new to their “thankful for” list: solar energy and home battery storage.
Between rising Southern California Edison (SCE) rates and a growing number of power outages during peak seasons, more homeowners are realizing just how valuable it is to have their own source of clean, reliable power. And Thanksgiving is the perfect time to appreciate it.
Grateful for Lower Bills in a High-Rate World
If you’ve opened an SCE bill recently, you already know: rates have been climbing year after year. Families are paying more for the same amount of electricity, especially during peak evening hours when most people are home cooking, cleaning, watching TV, or hosting relatives for the holidays.
Solar flips that reality on its head.
With rooftop solar, homeowners can:
- Generate their own power instead of relying 100% on the grid
- Offset high peak pricing
- Enjoy long-term savings and predictable energy costs
- Save more every time utility rates go up (which they will)
This time of year—when ovens are running, houses are full, and the lights stay on later—solar truly proves its worth.
Thankful for Backup Power When Outages Hit
Thanksgiving is the last time anyone wants to deal with an outage. But the truth is, power interruptions across Southern California are becoming more common, whether due to:
- High winds
- PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff) events
- Overloaded equipment
- Storm-related failures
That’s where battery storage changes the story.
With a home battery:
- You can keep the lights on when the neighborhood goes dark
- Your fridge stays cold (no spoiled Thanksgiving leftovers!)
- Your Wi-Fi, oven, and essential appliances keep running
- You stay comfortable and connected, no matter what happens outside
It’s peace of mind that feels priceless—especially during holidays.
A Season for Comfort… and Energy Independence
Solar and battery storage aren’t just about bills. They’re about freedom.
Freedom from surprise rate hikes.
Freedom from unreliable power.
Freedom to enjoy your home without worrying about what’s happening on the grid.
This Thanksgiving, thousands of homeowners in SCE territory are experiencing that freedom firsthand. And if you’ve made the switch—or you’re planning to—there’s plenty to be thankful for:
- Control over your energy
- Predictable long-term costs
- Reliable backup power
- Cleaner electricity
- A safer, more resilient home
It’s a gift that keeps giving long after the holiday season is over.
Closing Thoughts: Gratitude for a Brighter Future
Thanksgiving is a reminder to appreciate the things that make our lives better, simpler, and more secure. For many families, solar and battery storage have become part of that story.
As utility costs rise and outages increase, having your own power solution isn’t just smart—it’s something to truly be grateful for.
Here’s to a holiday season filled with warmth, comfort, and a home powered by the sun.
Happy Thanksgiving!
