Eemergency Home Backup for Essentials
With all the solar generators I have equipped myself, I am ready for emergency when there are power outages. Having said that, mine is only a small setup in the event that the very brief power outages happened in my area. With that, I found my "distributed" approach worked very well to suit my needs. As well, since the outages are short and infrequent, I use every product in a daily basis. Not only am I be able to put them to good use, I will also be familiar enough to operate thjem when the power outages do occur.
In addition to the solar generators, the other product I have acquired is the Alternator Charger, which I will be able to add more power when there is no solar power.
So in my distributed backup scenario, I have:
Delta 2 Max - for my kettle to boil water for tea or coffee, induction cooktop, instant pot for cooking when required
River 3 Plus - dedicated for my internet with the strip light turned on to light up the hallway
RiverPro - for my Sony TV, which was most appreciated by family
River 2 - with a DC led light and camping light for brightness
River 2 - for laptop
Alternator Charger - for car and additional power
Delta 3 Plus - for shed
I also purchased a 6 circuits Reliance Manual Transfer Switch, to be installed in the future, when I want to change to a Central backup approach.
