Balcony Solar for your Condo?

[Bandersnatch]

Not sure if condo rules would allow this in your Thai condo, so best to check before purchase.

What are the scenarios for its use at home? Electric kettle?..

Solar combined with a Power Station would give you backup power in the event of a blackout. It would be nice to be able to run a fan all night if the power went down. 

 

You could use the solar to charge up a battery for an electric motorbike etc

Do you know if you can run ordinary panels with those systems, or do they use proprietary connectors? I find their foldable panels a bit expensive.

 

35990 THB for 400W

edit: Looking more closer, you can see "normal" MC4 connectors so I guess you can

Beat me to it ... couple links may interest and the one YT'er does reviews for EcoFlow (US version), and quite good.  Thought about them a couple times, but EV solved the need with V2L.

In the vein of this thread, given the ongoing rains, the coming floods and the PM's new advocacy of people to rely on transistor radios........

 

Wondering if anyone can recommend a particular model and purchasing source for a SIMPLE, LOW COST, PORTABLE all-in-one solar kit that could be used just for small things in an emergency involving a power disruption....

 

Like keeping cell phones charged, recharging emergency lanterns, powering regular NICAD or NiMH battery chargers for regular rechargeable batteries that can be used in a variety of household things, etc etc... Not like powering TVs, computers, appliances or more heavy duty stuff like that.

 

PS - regarding one of the prior posts above and a model listed there, I'm hoping I can do something simple that isn't going to cost $1,000+ USD.

 

Any thoughts?
