Solar Panels for Emergency Use
Disaster Response & Recovery - Home Power Backup

When a storm, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, wildfire or power blackout occurs, there is great safety and comfort in knowing that you can meet your basic electricity needs?  That's what we think.  Solar panels for emergency use are an affordable and reliable way to provide operating and backup power that makes you grid independent.

Conventional generators are helpful but what do you do if you can't get fuel?

Here are a number of options to keeps the lights on, the fans running, the cell phones charged and your solar refrigerator or freezer running.  We run 100% off the grid at Sunshine Cottage at www.nealcreekfarm.com and get by just fine without the power company, thank you.

Portable Solar Power & Charging Station

This 200 watt portable solar panel array combines four hinged 50 watt solar modules with telescoping legs and "plug and play" electrical connectors for rapid deployment and quick  set-up.  The foldable array is small enough to fit in the trunk of most full size automobiles.

The rest of the system consists of a high efficiency 25 amp charge controller and regulator and a 1,550 watt utility power quality (full sine wave) inverter which provides 120 AC volts at 60 Hz.  A 12 volt 100 Ah (amp hour) battery can be included as part of the system, or other battery options are available, or you can purchase your battery or batteries locally elsewhere.  Deep draw marine batteries are an affordable and portable option.

A weatherproof enclosure is included which integrates the solar array connections, the battery, inverter and charge control components.

For home emergency backup power, 200 watts is enough energy (assuming you have adequate battery storage) to run 12 volt lights, fans, a high efficiency solar refrigerator like our SunDanzer models, a laptop computer, small television and also charge multiple low voltage devices like cell phones, battery powered lanterns, two way radios, portable AM FM and weather band radios and your iPod.

For emergency disaster preparedness and response, the portable solar power and charging station can run 25 laptop computers for 4-6 hours along with up to 25 inkjet or bubble jet printers, and charge cell phones, satellite phones and emergency lights.  The number of devices and the run times depend on how much battery storage you have and the available sunlight to recharge.

This system can be integrated with trailers, vans, transportable shelters and other mobile systems for rapid deployment.
