IIRC, the fuel cells wear out and better technologies are more expensive to produce. My mom lives in Paradise and she would've bought a FC generator with an ATS if such a mythical creature were affordable and lasted at least as long as a natural gas generator. It seems like more work needs to be done to produce FC cells that last far longer even if they're physically larger. (Holy Grail / Easier said than done.) PS: Xfinity (Comcast) goes out within the first 24 hours while cell phone service remains powered in a PSPS. In a real outage, cell phone service lasts some number of hours or a few days. There hasn't been such an event because PG&E has a large basecamp with worker housing and equipment half-way between Paradise and Chico on Skyway.
