What options are you using? Some medical issues have led us to want some back-up for basic needs. Not quite ready for a full gen system as I envision solar and possibly a permenant lithium or nat gas generator in the 5 year plan.
Generator?
Portable battery with solar?
EV car or plug hybrid (anyone manage to use a Kia PHEV as a generator?)
Whatever it is want it to turn on power a small refrigerator, charge basic electronics, filter, aquarium heaters (this is the bigger load I am concerned about), possibly basic power tools and be chargeable from a variety of sources. In the long run looking to power maybe a minisplit in a shelter below ground area for cooling/heat. For really light stuff two of our three vehicles have built in small amp power inverters.
