in this video, we go through setting up tower mounted solar panels, charge controller and repurposed battery for emergency communications in a grid down emergency.
How will you power your Comms gear in a blackout or power failure? Off grid solar backup power for emergency communications is a serious topic. For preppers and survivalists, the ability to get news and information despite a grid down scenario, will improve his/her chances of making an informed decision about safety. For ham radio operators participating in a grid down emergency communications scenario, their ability to keep their stations operational, despite the blackout in the outside world, quite simply, might save lives!
