No power, phones or any kind, working radio stations or anything in my area in Louisiana for 3 weeks after hurricane Laura. No breeze for days afterward and it was nearly 100 degrees every day with high humidity. It was too hot to go inside the house. I used a very sensitive AM radio with 400 hour battery life to get news from distant cities about what was going on.

The little 4 inch Dash Mini Griddle only uses 350w. It can make one 4 inch pancake per minute or a thick 4 inch homemade pan biscuit every 3 minutes. Great for tiny burgers and pan sausage and fried eggs too. It has a thermostat so it browns things without burning.

Most smaller rice cookers can be used with your 500w power station. The Aroma 4-cup only uses about 225w.

Get an Onite USB powered camping bulb. It only draws 5w and is warm white. I`ve used them for years with no issues. A power bank you can carry in your pocket can run them. I also use the larger 5-blade USB powered fans. A larger 25,000 mAh power bank can run one on low for 24 hours.

There's some pretty good 1000-1500 wh power stations out there you can usually find in sale for around $500... Ecoflow Delta 2 Bluetti ac180 Anker solox c 1000 And really quite a few more lesser known like the Pecron e1500lfp And the Oupes Mega 1 that was just recently released on sale. Good luck and hope things get better for you soon. Be safe all🙏

Great setup. I have an Ecoflow system. It was great having power and internet while the whole community was in darkness. I know people with solar panels but no batteries so they were in darkness also. Respect bredren

Morning Dan, I came from proverty. Flambo if you know what I mean. So to have Solar to help out I love it. It pretty much pay for itself. I am in NYC so we good. Prepping for freezing cold. One year we had -10 in NYC that temp burst the pipes. So I learned a lesson that year.

Having enough solar to run the fridge and charge all the batteries was a game changer this hurricane. I hooked up 300w of the 1200w I had been trying to make time to set up.

Any suggestions?

@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel Depends on what you are starting with and what your needs are. Figure out what you need to power and put together a system that can run that for at least 1-2 weeks. (Tampa hurrican Milton) I had 300W of solar available on a solar tracker (it actively follows the sun). A 2KW Anker battery bank and another 1.8KW in old batteries attached to the solar panels. Starting from full on everything, by day three, I started running out of power due to cloudy weather and having too many fridges to power. I consolidated down to 1 fridge at that point to save power. The next day, the lights came back on. To address my system's shirt comings, I've added a 2.2KW gas generator and another 400w of solar, 700w total. I've got another 500w in panels to install. I've also got an adapter with a long cord so I can charge the Anker battery bank and my solar batteries off my truck alternator in a pinch. (More options = more flexibility.)

Great job Sir. People never know when things are going to happen. I would recommend a small generator that runs on gas or propane to recharge your power stations. Using a generator an hour or so to charge power stations is another great backup source, and reduces the need to use so much gas or propane. God bless.
