What is average length of outage? If it is a few hours then the battery seems like a good idea. If it is days then the battery will probably run out.> around 50% of the houses in its programme with home batteries also have solar panelsI'm assuming most of these outages are from snow storms. Do these people have to go up on the roof and clear the solar panels?
Most are hours but there are enough that are a day or more that it is a valid consideration. As to when, honestly I think there are more not snow related. Long stretches of wet (or floods) and high winds not a good mix.
