To: stars & stripes forever

It’s worth a try as we do have a good amount of sun, even in winter. I put it on my list of things to look into. Hopefully I will get to it before the Chinese decide to unplug us!

SOLAR GENERATOR

We have a portable solar generator. It saved our basement (sump pump stopped working) and freezer (full of meat) when the electricity went out for three days from extreme weather.

The charge doesn’t last long on high energy items. Plus, it takes forever to charge on cloudy days. (We drove to the office to charge it up several times.) But the good thing is, it is quiet, portable, and it can be used indoors. Also, the hand charger also takes forever to charge the unit. But on the bright side, it’s good exercise to get rid of saggy underarms. LOL

I thought the pump could be plugged in long enough to fill several buckets of water at a time.
