Wwondering if anyone with solar panels is using a Jackery portable power bank(or similar) to charge up during *green hand” periods for use once you stop generating?
I know they come in different “sizes” and sound quite pricey to purchase but I thought it might be handy should rationing or power outage happens this winter?
