From seasonal storms and\nnatural disasters to large-scale disasters like attacks on our power grid and\ninfrastructure, our power grid has become extremely vulnerable to disruption.\nBecause of how dependent our lives have become on the grid, it\u2019s never been\nmore important to safeguard yourself, your family, and your home from power\ngrid failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, over the\nlast couple of years solar generator technology has really taken off. Whether\nyou\u2019re looking for a way to power your home during a long-term power grid\ndisaster or just provide some extra juice during a short-term power outage,\nthese solar powered generators and backup battery packs are some of the best\noptions on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nTop Solar Power Backup Generators<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the past, if you wanted a\nsource of backup power you had to opt for expensive and dangerous gas generators;\nluckily that is all starting to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar power battery generators\nallow you to ditch those loud and dangerous gas powered generators, giving you\nthe peace of mind and security you need during a crisis. Combined one of these\nbattery banks with some solar panels, and they can provide you with unlimited\nbackup power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

These are not long-term solutions, so if you\u2019re looking to power an entire home or offgrid shelter they\u2019re obviously not the right choice; but if you\u2019re looking for something to keep you going during a short-term disaster then these units are a great backup plan. That being said, depending on your needs they can keep you going for quite some time and the more you add, the more you can obviously power.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 500<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Jackery<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 500 is a great little battery bank that gives you a PURE SINE WAVE 500-Watt invertor that can run small appliances, laptops, and charge your phones and devices. Combined with a solar panel like the Jackery SolarSaga 100W Portable Solar Panel<\/a>, this setup can provide you with the power you need to keep things going when the grid goes down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jackery Portable Power Station is designed as a lightweight, portable unit for camping, emergency situations, and times when you need portable backup power. It’s small enough to fit in the trunk of a vehicle and has enough power to keep your phones, tablets, laptops, and even smaller chest freezers and small energy efficient refrigerators powered up for days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know a number of people who travel the country in a van<\/a> who use this setup as their primary source of power for their laptops, cellphones, lighting and ham radios. Personally, we use it in the field to run our ham radio and emergency radio rigs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal Zero Yeti 3000 Portable Power Station<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Goal<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Goal Zero is one of the top portable solar power companies in the world. I’ve been carrying a number of their smaller portable units<\/a> in my bug out bags for years, because I know they are going to work when I need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their Yeti 3000 is designed to keep everything from phones and laptops to appliances like small refrigerators and chest freezers up and running during an emergency. It can be charged from the sun, your wall, or even your vehicle and it stores 3000 watts of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This thing stores a lot of power, so you are going to need a couple of solar panels to keep it fully charged. Goal Zero suggests using their Boulder 200 Watt Briefcase Monocrystalline Solar Panels<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Units Made for Every Day Carry and Bugging Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for something that you can quickly throw in your bugout bags or keep stashed under the seat of your vehicle, these small portable units are the perfect option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
