[QUOTE="Upside, post: 325608, member: 9866"] Wasn't sure if this is the right forum so if mods want to move they can :) I'm wondering is there a small solar setup that can be used at home for when there's a power blackout? A friend of mine who lives overseas , unfortunately has to endure regular blackouts. What I'm thinking is a small portable solar panel that sits on his apartments balcony , then that charges a battery that could be stored away neatly (small apartment) Basically storing enough power to run say a fan , charge a phone etc. Obviously not much more than a couple of hours of power supply , or is batteries and solar much better than that these days? I have zero experience at solar and how it all works so that's why I've put this in the camping forum where you see alot of campers using solar. Appreciate any thoughts on the matter! :) [/QUOTE]
