I am in the process of getting engaged with a solar power generator unit of ~ 2000 Wh and three solar panels 200W each, meant normally for mobile vanlife. I have no van, but am stationary, and that is fine due to the weight of the thing, almost 30kg wihtout the 3 panels (6kg each). Battery and all input and output mounts and options, of which there are plenty, are all inbuild, I do not need to feed into the house-mounted circuit. My only hesitation comes from the price for this - apparently top quality set, its 3500 coins (currently a sale for 3200), and my wondering whether I maybe might be better off with two 1000 WH units, weighing just 10 kg, and thus beign able to have one in use and carrying it aroung while the other is played outside and hangs on the panels and gets charged. The mentioned set would charge the battery on a fully sunny day in 5-6 hours, so on grey winter days it will last several times as long, no doubt, and due to the short days: several days.

Its not about keeping the TV running, but to be able to rechgarged the many AA and aAA batteries, and gadgets, a slo my bicycle batteries, and having the option to heat a cup of water over the day repeatedly and running two or three low watts LEd lightbiulbs in the dark. Emergency situations in case of a days-long blackout.

But then i wonder if these things in such a scenario really would be my primary concerns. Also, having solar panels hanging around on the roof and loggia could attract unwanted attention by plunderers.

I am undecided, and I do not like to stay in this state, I use to consider things, and then decide, but this one has kind of paralysed me since weeks now. It gets annoying, and I cannot recognise myself.

Did any of you take action over getting generators or solar installations or anythign to prep for scenarios involving lasting loss of electricity? AA and AAA batteries, of ourse you stockpile them for prepping, candles as well, to keep radios, tochlights and so forth operatioanl. But generator-scaled stuff as I reason about here?

A typical good bicycle battery today has 500-650 Wh, btw. The set I think about offers three times that capacity.

The cost-effect ratio to me looks suspicious. Thats why I am so hesitent.

Noisy gas-driven generators needing stockpiles of fuel and such stuff are out of the question due to my living situation in my place. If I go with such a system, it must be solar, for whatever its worth or not worth.
