About 2 years ago, I purchased an Allpowers 300-watt solar generator along with one of their 100-watt foldable panels. Well, the generator died in less than three uses over the course of 2 years. I was looking at this time purchasing a 700 or 1000-watt from a different manufacturer, but now, after coming across Will Prowse, I think I can make one SAFETY as long as I follow everything step by step, not rush, and pay close attention to detail .
I was looking at his classic for RVs and also his milk crate setup. Which one of those would be more appropriate for a one bed room apartment? Id only use this for when a hurricane hit NOLA or if someone drove and knocked out a power pole. The first, I could be without power for up to 120 days like Ida, and the second, maybe overnight.
I see some setups call for four 100-watt panels. To save space, could I do 2 200-watt panels (storing it in a one-bedroom when not in use)? Would it be more efficient with fewer panels but the same total wattage?
So, which should I start out with as a beginner? I would be powering a fridge, router, desktop, or laptop, some lights when needed, and a fan.
I'd like to start this project in May and have it finished and up and running by the end of June. So any help would be great. Or should I just purchase a 1000-watt solar generator from GoalZero and call it a day? Again this would be for a one bedroom apartment with one person living there.
