Honestly, I wish I’d focused on building up a reliable backup power system much sooner. Lost count of how many times we lost electricity during storms and I was fumbling with candles and half-charged flashlights. Solar panels and battery banks seemed intimidating at first, but they’re a game-changer. Anyone else feel like lighting gets overlooked until you’re literally left in the dark?
