Few tips, as someone who lives in a rural community and loses power often. Fill your bathub with cold water, this way you can use this to manual flush your toilet. Keep a bucket around. When done your biz just fill the toilet with water and eventually it will flush. Big Deep cycle battery with a decent size inverter can power a sump pump for a 6-8 hours. I have one and if i run out of power the place can flood.
As a Floridian, my advice is to be ready for flooding and tree damage. Power is going to be out for a while. People will do stupid stuff so be prepared for that too. Praying for you all.
Thanks for the tips, let’s see how bad this hurricane 🌀 gets in Southern California. Lets be ready definitely is all over the news better be safe then sorry, time to charge all my flashlights 🔦 and batteries and get them generators ready and fill up all propanes tanks for cooking.
Fill up your car fuel tanks beforehand. Don't forget your extra fuel tanks. Clouds will be prevalent so solar won't be super useful. You can always use your vehicle alternator system to charge power stations and mobile devices! I have a couple really useful videos demonstrating how to charge power stations quickly in your car. I wish you the best during the storm, document what you can, see you on the other side!
Make sure your panels are well secured to the surface where you bolted them on. Because once those hurricane winds start beating down, it will be too dangerous to go outside and place bricks on the panels to weigh them down. Anything loose will be flying everywhere and against windows.
Love your videos. All explained well and very easy to follow. And because of that it would be wonderful if you could make a video and explain using a grid-tied inverter off grid. There are videos but not explained fully or easy to follow. If it’s possible for you or interested it would be great. I’m looking forward to any of your next videos.
Would it be possible, and safe, to trick a grid tie inverter into outputting by using the inverter from the eco flow as 60hz 120VAC reference? Would that back feed the eco flows inverter and mess something up?
