Great Video - Very Helpful 👍🏽 I'm concerned about black and brownouts this summer. So I'm studying and prepping now. Next up ... I'll practice turning off my power 🔋 and see how I fair. 🤷🏾♀️
Our small solar array came in handy when the power went out a few weeks ago. But we learned our fuse for the inverter was 150 amp and kept kicking out on the microwave. Learned all this figuring out is hard. We have the option of pulling our 600 watt solar on our van up to the house and throw a line to use. But simplicity tells me maybe something portable might be in order. Will keep investigating and waiting for your next videos.
Bluetti and Ecoflow have some great units. Both are coming out with new stuff soon. Keep an eye out. Im getting the Ecoflow Delta Pro with the extra battery. It comes out on kickstarter in a couple weeks.
@@LoneStarPrepping It's a wonderful time to be in the market for a new one. FYI some guy is selling a battery for the original Kickstarter R600 Pro on FB.
I greatly appreciate your detailed info on this. I try hard to understand but I do have a learning disability.. very hard to comprehend and retain. I do have an idea that 'might' make things easier when trying to figure out how much we use or will need from a generator without getting tools and going thru so many steps. I'm with NVEnergy in Las Vegas and have my account and usage online for many years. I can view my kilowatt hours and usage for whole house by day and compare. What it doesn't tell me is actual watts used, that I can find at least. I'm trying to get an idea of what I use overall and what size generator. I can't help but think I'm very close to knowing the info I would need. I could even simulate for a couple of days my emergency needs by just using those things and tracking the kwhrs using their usage tool online. I'm just not sure of how to convert into watts and then figure out how much generator I'd need. I've watched so many videos and with yours I'm closer to knowing but I'd prefer not to buy all the little tools although I do have the kilowatt reader you use. Thanks again for such detailed info. I'll have to watch them several times again but I can't help but feel many people are very close to knowing what they need just by using their power companies online account tools?
Your total electrical use will likely include hvac and high demand dryer etc... (220 or 240). You will need a pretty large generator to handle that. If you dont plan to run high demand items on a gen, then knowing the total usage may not be so helpful. Multiply kilawatt hours by 1000 to get watt hours.
Excellent instructions and information! Thank you 😊

Practice... such a great idea. I did this with a system I built back in 2015, and it really does help.
Very helpful video. Thank you
Glad I could help!
This was a great, informative series! You are an exceptional teacher! Thank you!
Thank you for watching
I found your video though a comment you made. Exactly what I was looking for. Great content.
Glad you found me! Thank you.
Great job explaining this. Much appreciated!

This is exactly what I have been looking for!!!
Im so glad! I have been formulating the idea of all this for a few years. I finally pulled the trigger and ran with it.
How did you find the video? Im concerned its not very searchable.
Excellent video. Thanks
Wonderful video! Exactly what people like me need!
I am glad for you. Please share. Not sure its searchable. How did you find it?
@@LoneStarPrepping Since I subscribed to your channel, it shows up as a new video on my daily subscriptions .
There is a new Bluetti AC300 coming out in August. It has modular batteries that you can add on. Looks pretty good
Yea, I just learned about it on FB. Ecoflow and Bluetti fighting for the portable power craze. I look forward to my Delta Pro!

Cool. I never saw that line splitter before
I know. Its pretty cool.
Thanks!
Welcome!
Im so sorry! I was pretty new to the Thanks feature at the time. I had no idea you sent me money until today! Thank you!
