Portable Solar Electricity

I live in an apartment that has a small South facing porch, in Southern California. I'd like to use solar to decrease my monthly electric bill. Without buying a rooftop system (it's not my roof, it must be portable), what can I get to plug into my...

Hey Socal, it's always good to hear someone is interested in going solar. In your situation, you don't have a lot of options, but it is possible to do it. What you need is called a microsine inverter. For several years Trace Engineering built...

This is the final review of my completed Portable Solar Power Pack.

I am very much thinking about purchasing something just like the link below and I've asked several people about these questions but no one can help me....

My question is... How long will this run something like a small normal 60...

The specs given for this unit don't seem right. As someone else said they are usually advertised to supply more than you will actually get.

I'd suggest battery powered lights. If you simply must have more power then you should...

I live in a hurricane zone. but, i hate my neighbors who use those horrific and loud generators 7/24 when we lose electricity.

Affordable, portable and solar "generator" sadly do not coincide; especially if you are talking about running more than a window fan. Solar power systems require a bank of wet cell batteries to charge and it's those batteries that supply...

I'm keen on buying or building a portable solar panel for my home to lower dependence on costly energy and reduce my electricity bills.

The cost of solar panels for homes ranges between $100-200 based on panel wattage and electrical output. For example, a 6.5 Watt portable solar panel costs $95-115, while a 9 Watt (12V) rollable solar charger costs about $180.

You...
