I am setting up deployable Solar Panel solution. I figure if something does happen, their will be gas shortages. Solar Panel can recharge batteries.

I have low power requirements, I am only running a QRP rig (5 watts) and a 45 watt amp when needed.

My station consist of a low power laptop, Flex 1500, 2 meter transverter and a Tokyo Hy-Power 45b. Thinking a 180 watt panel with a 80 amp hour battery might be plenty.

Maybe the only realistic way to get power after an EMP or CME — as long as the pulse doesn’t also disable solar panels.

(I still can’t get an answer from a knowledgeable person on that matter. Even asked an EE who works for a solar company. He didn’t know either!)
