The power can go out for several reasons: a snow or ice storm, thunderstorm, hurricane, or even a blackout during the sweltering heat or winter cold. Regardless of the cause, the result is the same: your lights are off—as are your essential devices and appliances. A portable solar generator can certainly help.
Portable solar generators can be a lifesaver in a number of different scenarios. Be advised, it’s not going to power your entire home. However, it can charge your laptops and phones several times—and some can even power a mini-fridge, TV, electric stove, space heater, etc.
And the best part is that you can charge a portable solar generator using solar panels in just a few hours—although you also have the option to charge them using a wall outlet or even your car port (via the cigarette lighter). Plus, solar generators aren’t just for power outages. You can also use them when camping to power a mini cooler or electric grill, or when traveling across the country— and they can come in handy if you’re ever stranded in your car in the middle of nowhere.
