30 of the last 38 days had 100% renewables covering demand. There was no power outages during the other 8 days.
How is this interpreted in any other way than California renewables provide significant coverage of power demand, and California has the infrastructure for the other moments in time.

I have solar panels installed on my house. I sell more solar than I use from the grid. I also have to rely on grid power for 14-18 hours each day.)
