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
bubblejet 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.
