Ojai, CA
Ojai itself is a rural community in a Tier 3 fire threat area and suffers from frequent power outages from PSPS events and unreliable grid. Our family had to evacuate for the Thomas Fire in December 2017 and were out of our home for nearly a month. We've now helped a nonprofit social service agency, a nonprofit rescue dog training centers, a school, and a youth homeless facility install solar and/or battery storage microgrids for the risks we face here from power loss.
