A question for people who have emergency back-up solar generators:
How did you calculate what size to get?
This is far outside my experience, I'm keen to learn from people who know their (solar) onions.
*As ever, I'm only looking for A) answers to what I asked, B) from the people I specified. Whatabboutery and second-guessing are not helpful or welcome. Thank you for your reading comprehension. xo
Over the years I’ve purchased two emergency back up batteries. Both are made by the US company Ecoflow. They plug into a wall socket so that they can be trickle-charged and ready at 100% to supply power in emergencies. Can also be recharged with solar panels, by a generator, or a car. I just spent as much on the battery purchase as I could reasonably afford. I didn’t worry too much about what my actual kWh need was. They are about to size of a small carry-on suitcase.
