So I've wanted for years to have a backpack with a detachable solar panel/panels. Sort of an emergency and or SHTF (I hope that isnt political) scenario bug out bag so to speak.
Youd need many of the same things as if you cut the cord and lived a mobile nomadic life. More efficient fuel etc etc.
How do you power your sawzall off grid?! (Homefield advantage I've done this with a B&D cordless 7.2V reciprocating saw)
Dependant upon circumstance, How many watts solar panel would you advise to be mounted on a backpack? Or is there a better option like a fanny pack? Or a case with a handle?
Where do you store the power? (Pun intended but unnecessary)
If you were hiking cross country what would you use to store electricity? What types of controllers? Battery chemistries? Amorphous panels? Poly? Mono? Why?
Discuss. If it makes you happy.
