Using Nothing But Photons, The Solar Power Generator Saves Me 3 Euro A Day
The other day, the ESB (Irish Electricity Board) cut our electricity while they worked on the line from 9:00 to 5:00. This time they warned us beforehand, but the last time, the entire contents of my freezer was turned to inedible mush! This time around, when they cut the electricity, I brought the wee generator in and it powered the freezer all day.
Boy, was I thankful! I really love my Sunslice generator and solar panel. Usually, I use it in situ in the greenhouse where it charges various USB appliances, like my phone, power banks, battery chargers, lamps and fans. But this portable generator can also be used just like a house mains socket outlet, and I use it mostly to boil water - for tea, hot water bottles, or recycling the dishes. I also use it to charge my electric bicycle. It almost didn’t occur to me that I could save my freezer full of food by bringing it in to the house. I really get a thrill every time I use it. It still seems incredible, and I feel truly blessed. I take climate change very seriously and am determined to do all I am able to alleviate it, by using alternatives to fossil-fuels. How good is this as a solution? Plus, it saves me money, and it is portable.
