Here December total 43 kWh. on 2.5 kW of panels, with very little sun. Several days of continuous rain, with about your output yesterday. But enough to keep the lights etc on. Just modulating the heating loads. #OffGrid #NoGenerator - cant stand the noise and fumes and don't want to burn fossil for what is essentially convenience

So, one of the items I'm planning to invest in for #PowerOutages is a #Solar #CellPhone charger with #USB (rather than trying to charge them using the car) -- since the phones are a way to keep in touch with the outside world (in addition to battery-operated radios). If there's enough wattage on the charger, I could potentially run my PC laptop (that has a DVD drive) and watch movies (can't do that with a Mac). Reading books is great to do during the day, but at night, it's been nice to be able to watch a movie (usually a comedy).
