How Reliable Are Solar Generators in Long-Term Disaster Scenarios?
Hello fellow preppers, I've been considering the integration of solar generators into my disaster readiness plan, especially focusing on long-term outages and off-grid living scenarios. Given the unpredictable nature of disasters and the increasing frequency of events that disrupt power supply, I'm looking into sustainable and renewable energy sources. Solar energy seems like a promising option, but I have several concerns before making a significant investment.
1. How reliable are solar generators during prolonged use, particularly in scenarios where traditional power sources are unavailable for months?
2. Can they efficiently power essential appliances and tools in a household for extended periods, or are they more suited for light usage?
3. What are the maintenance requirements for keeping them in optimal working condition over years of potential standby and active use?
4. Are there specific brands or models that are known for their durability and efficiency in harsh conditions?
Any advice, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated as I aim to enhance my preparedness for any future emergencies.
