Unfortunately in bad/cloudy weather when you are likely to have a power failure solar cells don't put out much. If you use more of the power bank then the solar cells are charging it, the power bank will run out.
With a stash of gas, my generator will run for a couple of weeks and keep powering my very high draw sump pump and hopefully keep my basement from flooding.
Apartment dwellers should ditch generators but for home owners maybe not.
But all shouldn't count on TX's grid.
