A Reader Sends, A Portable Solar/Power System
H/T to Bustednuckles for passing on this one!
Really great ideal that can be tweaked to meet the end user’s specific power needs.
Expensive? Yeah, but when you compare this method to a Gas Generator several benefits are obvious:
-
Take my word on this after living through 3 major Hurricanes: Dependency on Gas in a SHTF situation SUCKS. If you do not have large amounts stockpiled, the process of obtaining it is an adventure within itself (ie having to drive 100+ miles for gas? Consider the cost of that when calculating gas for the vehicle you are riding in plus the security factor of leaving your home/camp)
-
Convenience of having your Power Supply Indoors and not having to put gas in it every 6-8 hrs.
-
Gas Generators make NOISE and have to be kept outside in a ventilated area. In a SHTF scenario when you are dealing with desperate people, this put’s you at a disadvantage security wise.
