Have you ever heard of Plug in Solar? It is a panel you can plug into your regular outlet and generate your own electricity. It is 285 dollars..which is certainly affordable, much cheaper than buying a regular generator.Someone was writing about this on Nextdoor, and I checked it out. She said it was available starting January 1., but I looked at the company's website, and it didn't say you couldn't get it now. That could work out really well...with the cold winter temps coming. I will read some reviews, but it certainly seems like it would be worth the investment.

I doubt it will effect it much. It isn't like doing your whole house in solar. I will read some pros and cons about it, but I can't really see this as being a negative.

@Juliaacv You have to follow safety recommendations when you install these. I think as long as everything gets done properly and according to specs.. It should be fine.

@snowy22315 What made me think of insurance is because those ebikes and scooters, which are not the same, often cause fires. But really, I know next to nothing about renewable energy.

You have to plug this in. You have the panel, but it doesn't have to be mounted on the roof or anything or require an electrician to install it. There is more to traditional solar panels than meets the eye..

I've always wondered how they worked @snowy22315 I could never afford one so I'm checking into power packs in case I should need one but those are so expensive as well.

I am planning on it. It says you don't need an electrician, but I might want one anyway just to make sure everything is safely set up. My son might be able to do that..but not sure.

That sounds very interesting and affordable. I hadn't heard anything about plug in solar panels.

I didn't know anything about them until I read about it on Next Door. There are safety concerns, but I think as long as you use a unit 400 watts or under and follow recommendations it should be fine.
