Dependency on power-run
devices and appliances has increased so much that even a small temporary lapse
of electricity can create havoc and threaten the very survival of life. Imagining even a few hours without laptops,
microwaves, washing machines, air conditioners and televisions etc. renders
sadness. While electricity generators and inverters are popularly bought and
used for such emergency cases, they are not the most reliable, safe,
inexpensive and eco-friendly options out there.
Why do you need an emergency solar power generator?
Solar energy,
one of the cleanest and safest forms of energy, can be a cheap and reliable
option in case of emergencies. It can effectively help users to run few
important appliances and continue their work and life without feeling
exceedingly disturbed by a sudden power cut. No more do you have to fret and
worry every time the electricity goes off; you can conveniently derive the
required power from your solar power generator and be assured that your work
and life won’t be disrupted.
How to Make a Solar Power System
An emergency solar
power system can be designed and made by anyone. Preppers will need a set of one or more PV (photovoltaic) panels to
generate energy from sunlight, a battery which can store the generated solar energy, a simple charge
controller which will make sure that the battery does not get overcharged and
an inverter which will convert the solar energy stored in the battery into
usable 120V Alternating Current (AC). All these electrical components can be
easily obtained from local electricity and hardware stores. These days, special
PV sheets have also been launched which are not bulky and can be conveniently
pasted on roofing panels of the buildings.
Benefits of Solar Energy Generator
Preppers have
several reasons to rejoice as solar energy offers a large number of benefits
over the conventional power generators which require diesel or petrol to run.
First and foremost, if
you live in an area which receives ample sunshine, a solar power system can be
the ideal choice for you as you will always have a generous power backup for
emergencies and you won’t have to worry about your survival. Secondly, solar
energy is clean and safe; it doesn’t cause pollution or depletion of
exhaustible natural resources. Thirdly, installing a solar power system is much
cheaper and safer; you don’t have to pay any cost for sunshine falling on your
PV panels! Last but not the least, unlike the fuel-run generators, solar energy
generators do not make any noise at all.
