From forecast to reserve context

See the window. Decide what to prepare.

Storm Watch brings the solar outlook together with your energy-system context. When a lower-solar window is identified, the dashboard and email can suggest checks such as moving flexible loads into a stronger solar window.

Storm Watch is read-only energy guidance. Any official weather information appears separately; follow official weather and local emergency guidance.
