What will you do when the lights go out?! 'Solar Max' Solutions for both short and long term power outages.
Here is a brief overview of;
"How to survive a long term power outage"
Un-interruptible Power Supplies: Often referred to simply as a
UPS. Widely used in many homes and offices to prevent computer data loss during a
"long term power outage", a UPS will provide AC power from a battery for a limited amount of time. Very handy for periodically running Laptops or more importantly, they can also be used to run low wattage
'Flashlights, Radio's indefinitely!
UPS supplies usually run $50-1500. depending on the size of the battery in the unit. A useful investment, a UPS will be useful every day for protecting your laptops, pcs, cell phones, and other sensitive electronics.
"Generator: gasoline or butane powered generator" Simply isn’t practical or possible to keep systems powered by a fuel generator due to fuel cost and other necessities, Unless you own BP haha not funny!
Generators are buyable at hardware stores or via online vendors. However, "
Portable solar & automotive power supply units" are the way to go for long term!

These nifty items are usually sold for cars, and often have a built in
jump-start capability, tire inflator, emergency radio, or some combination thereof. Although, many also have AC plugs and function identically to a UPS. Their usefulness during
hurricane or thunderstorm power outages, will power {pardon the pun}
rechargable batteries via pportable solar panel chargers. Portable power supplies can be bought from
Wal-Mart or Canadian Tire etc. for $100. auto emergencies, and have seen them for sale in other warehouse departments and at hardware stores, also found online.
Solar trickle charger: a small solar panel that trickle charges up to 12 volt batteries. Use this to charge your portable power supply, an extra car battery can be useful too. Best $20 purchase I’ve ever made, and they can be found from specialty battery/electronics vendors,
again also online, click here.
Automobile power inverter: This 200 watt inverter for the car (I like electronics, can you tell?) can be used indefinitely, by attaching it to a spare car battery. Inverters of various wattages can be had in the automotive section of any department store, and cost $20-100, depending upon the output wattage...
