I just recently started using a solar charger to charge a 10k mah battery pack that I use to charge my phone every night. One device “off the grid.”

Short of installing solar on my home I’d really love to be able to charge a large battery that would output 120V so I could use household appliances “off the grid.”

Does anybody have some other energy hacks, or ways to reduce your energy consumption at home that’s not just “use less energy?”

    Insulation. Reflectrix your attic. Seal off air gaps. Add as much blow-in that you can.

    Heat pump water heater.

    You can buy an entry Ecoflow River that will use solar before battery. Could run a fridge off of it.

      Thanks! I have a similar battery generator that I just bought a 100W panel for. We’ll see if I can get my laptop on mostly, if not solely, solar with that.
