I too am thinking of a Portable Power Station type device, add a couple of panels to make it solar too. Something along these lines, maybe with a bigger internal battery. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ecoflow-river-2-max-portable-power-station-i4783928555-s19767762134.html

I've merged the responses into this thread so we're good to go ????

@KhunLA I think continue here to avoid the other thread going off topic. I'll hide / move those posts.

"Lord, I have a problem." "What's the problem, Eve?" "I know that you created me and provided this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, as well as that hilarious snake, but I'm just not happy." "And why is that, Eve?" "Lord, I am lonely, and I'm sick to death of apples." "Well Eve, in that case, I have a solution. I shall create a man for you." "Man? What is that Lord?" "A flawed creature, with many bad traits. He'll lie, cheat and be vain; all in all, he'll give you a hard time. But he'll be bigger, faster and will like to hunt and kill things. I'll create him in such a way that he will satisfy all your physical needs. He will be witless and will revel in childish things like fighting and kicking a ball about. He won't be as smart as you, so he will also need your advice to think properly." "Sounds great," says Eve, with ironically raised eyebrows, "but what's the catch, Lord?" "Well ... you can have him on one condition." "And what's that, Lord? " "As I said, he'll be proud, arrogant and self-admiring ... so you'll have to let him believe that I made him first. And it will have to be our little secret ... you know, woman to woman."

Sorry, but someone had to ...

Please, for all our sakes, define "SOON"

Definitely a baptism of fire there. Last year was decidedly damp too.

Is this post on auto-repeat?? It's the wet-season, expect rain and the usual flooding.

60C isn't really excessive provided it doesn't get much hotter. I've not actually measured any of ours.

LEDs will certainly get warm (and you shouldn't cover them with insulation) but "extremely hot" sounds worrying. If it's too hot to touch I'd take it back from whence it came.

Nah, he's moved on, they're "water pushing machines" now ????

Solcast, a DNV company, reports that North and South America are set to experience an annular eclipse on October 14, which means that some regions could lose a significant portion of their daily solar energy production. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/09/29/october-14-eclipse-to-cost-us-states-up-to-17-of-daily-solar-generation/

Google "DIY solar forum" or link from one of Will Prowse's videos, loads of JK BMS setup info.

Hmmm, and you know this how??? Not French are you??
