LOL! Ya know, some mirrors in space could provide you with 24 hour sunshine. Might be costly though. Glad it’s working for you guys. My point was that the truck would be okay for a short time but unless the outage is restored one might not even be able to drive anyplace to re-charge. Guess that gas/diesel generator would be handy then.

Play nice.

Our residential solar system has a 10kWh battery on it. Runs the 110v circuits all night if needed.

Sunshine the next day charges the battery again, and powers most of the house usage, depending on cloud cover.

Net: it works quite well, and is silent. Unlike the Generac, which is quiet but far from silent.

I believe in backups for backups. We have solar, two generators, and 2 vehicles with 20 AMP 110v AC outlets.

We will do just fine without mirrors in space.
