In this show, we  discuss ideas for building a low cost solar powered system as an option to provide lighting and some, limited AC power in a grid down scenario. I discuss what I used and why I chose it. We will include the benefits of buying the solar kit from Harbor Freight. What the basic kit comes with and how to buy it on the cheap with coupons. We’ll briefly discuss the difference between Flooded Lead Acid and Absorbed Glass Mat and some of the pros and cons of each; careful not to fall into the trap of Cold Cranking Amps.

I’ll go over a few options for running small AC appliances and why you might need them. This includes Pure Sine Wave and Modified Sine Wave inverters. I’ll give a cool hack for making cheap inverters from a junk UPS. Finally I’ll review problems I have encountered so far, why moisture SUCKS, and voltage drop....
