One neighbor reported that the power went out last night and was still out this morning but he and I set up our off-grid systems at the same time using commercial UPSs. I am off grid 24/7 but he gets power from next door. Due to the smooth transition between grid and batteries provided by the UPS he can't tell without looking at the UPS panel whether he is running on grid or batteries so he doesn't know whether grid power is back yet. I just went for a walk and could hear a generator running at another neighbor's house so I think power is still out here in Eden Roc.
