Wow! It's nice to have back-up..
The way life normally works, you get your stuff together, back-up, spare units, etc
and then what happens??
The grid never fails again!!
After our experience during the Blizzard of '78', right after we
had our garage built, we got a new snow thrower..
It sat and rusted about 6 years before we had any real deep snow again!
Ski resorts went out of business and the snow thrower carb seals dried up!
Anyways, it was during that blizzard that a lot of people lost their power
for 2 to 7 days.. It was un-real. Many houses lost all their plumbing,
and heating systems.
Then, things were okay, life was good. Until 2008.. Ice storms!
We have had many thousands of homes off the grid for weeks.
Some of them for 5 or 6 weeks!! Home Depot sold a ton of generators
around here. (New England)..
I'm starting to hear about another mini-ice-age coming..
Yeah, you should just bite the bullet and order a RedRock kit..
Just make sure you get the Sunset-return-East feature.
You got me to start thinking about a big battery bank and one of those
new inverters.
