The power doesn't just fail on it's own, there needs to be a storm with wind or lightning bringing down wires or transformers. Except for a hurricane about a decade ago, the power is brought back up very quickly. The only time we lost frozen food was during that hurricane I mentioned. We were out of power for a week or so and the streets were lined with tree limbs and trees for weeks before they got carried away. We had a pine in our front yard break into and the top part landed on the roof. A live oak in the back went into the pool. And a 60+ foot pine across the street came down and blocked the street. People were out of work, schools were shut down. I guess wind and lightning and hurricanes wouldn't affect solar panels if we had them ... oh wait, they would blow away too and there would be no power company coming to get power back on. You'd need to replace them.
