Same here got my Ecoflow Pro and Two Expansion Battery's sent my 100 watt panels back exchanged them for 6 RICH 200 watt panels for 10.8 kwh of power been testing it and I can run three 5,000 btu AC's with No problems along with my refrigerator and two freezers and lights. As long as the sun shines I'm good to go.

And the cost to run our generators have doubled in the last year. We're being pushed hard.

Go Solar People will flock to the sound of them running generators after a few days of No Power! I have the portable AC's and vent them into my garage Can't hear them running from the outside. Have black out panels on my window no lights on here  Wonder if one of them Carbon Filters for Grow rooms would delete the smell of cooking

I just had two high efficiency, HVAC heat pumps(variable speed DC drive) with propane emergency heat installed. They are incredibly quiet. You have to be standing next to the outside unit to hear them running. They also play well with my generator.

A portable generator and window AC stored away in the shed is enough to get us by and run the essentials.

I bought a PTO generator for the tractor last year that will run the house and then some but now diesel is $5.30/ gal. They get ya one way or another it seems.

Winter, no heat, then i prefure the cold...  actually kinda miss it, roughing it, the hog hunts @ OSBWMA, kayaking, canoeing down river, camp outs... ... Always been  crazy, but it kept me from going insane. Whin ya gots wife & little ones, it little different story... Ya'll stay safe, heat strokes, dangerous ...

I'm about tired of this rolling BO BS. If it was actually "rolling" blackouts that only lasted a little while and EVERYONE was subject to them I wouldn't be as upset, but that crap they pulled last year just wasn't right. My sister-in-law lives 5 minutes from us and her power never blinked.
