Electricity generators are literally life-savers. Most home generators are gas, propane or diesel powered though. These can be loud, costly to run and, in a real disaster, hard to fuel. If the electricity is down, how will the gas pump work? That&#8217;s where a solar-powered generator comes in. You can buy pre-made ones for about $2000 USD or more, but that&#8217;s just too easy. We&#8217;re survival types! We can do it! And, in building one ourselves we&#8217;ll also learn how to improve and fix it.
Today&#8217;s podcast covers some of the basics and talks about the parts I&#8217;ll be using to build mine:  solar PV panels, a Pelican case, charge regulator, AGM (Absorbed Glass Matrix) batteries, DC/AC inverters and ballpark figures on what appliances draw and how that relates to your solar generator. All parts in, my solar generator will cost me about $1500 to build, but be able to power all the crucial electrical things in my house, during an outage. You can make a smaller one for less, using the same principles and a little research.

Hydrocarbon fuels are exceptionally cheap and are the underpinnings of wealth. Consider the total amount of pollution we have and fuels we use area  very small percentage of that. Wealth generator and minimal ecological impact. What more do you want?
What does this have to do with preparedness? Well, once you appreciate how much a litre of gas can do for you, you&#8217;ll realize it&#8217;s really an inexpensive commodity that you should have on hand. Roughrider_fan&#8217;s foray into island economics will highlight for you just what a difference a litre of gas can make.
I decided to forego any introduction on this podcast to let Roughrider get right to the meat. I really enjoyed this one as it&#8217;s a bit of a lesson in economics as well. I hope you enjoy it too.
