2 Xantrex Technologies 802-1500 XPower Powerpack 1,500-Watt Portable Backup Power System (http://amzn.to/hvKR14)

Used for mainly lighting and small appliances. The 4 converted lamps will run at 12v instead of using the 120v converter on the battery packs. There is no loss converting then.
We will charge the solar panel during the daytime. Then at night or when the heater is running off the generator we will charge up these packs. One will be used while the other is charging.

1 Sunforce 39810 80-Watt High-Efficiency Polycrystalline Solar Panel with Sharp Module (http://amzn.to/ftY8qA)

1 Sunforce 50056 Solar Accessory Kit (http://amzn.to/dQF2w4)
1 30 amp Digital Charge Controller (http://amzn.to/eKswqx)

4 converted 120v lamps to 12v I cut the 120v plug from the lamp wire and attached the 12vDC Car Power Adapters. Then instead of 120v light bulbs I use 12v bulbs.

2 12 volt fluorescent light bulbs 40 watts
2 12 volt fluorescent light bulbs 25 watts
1 10 foot 12vDC extension cord
1 3 outlet 12vDC Power Adapter (http://amzn.to/fR0WNl)

  • @mauythaihaha

    exactly sir!

  • a lot of haters on the solar powered electricity. I think The biggest value would be the ability to charge other batteries during a SHTF scenario.

  • @mauythaihaha You could go all the way back and just start using fire and stone tools, but a steady flow of electricity makes things much easier and expands your options.

  • Do you have to keep this plugged in to keep the batteries maintained?

  • and the point of buying all this is why not just use fire like we did befor electricity

  • the money you spent on all the vehicle adapters, bulbs, cords you could have just gotten a power converter at walmart 49.99 700 watt

  • what happens if u are forced to leave ur home and run (or drive) away?...

  • this is all weak- sauce.. just use a damn candle or two.. you need alot more power to do anything of importance
