There are times when you don't have the luxury of using the power company to power your home in order to use all the appliances, heater, air conditioning and other amenities we've become so accustomed to. Things like a hurricane, or other natural disasters, as well as inability to pay bills may contribute to a loss of electricity for a long period of time. Unless you like living in unbearable heat and you don't mind eating raw food (from cans since you won't have use of your refrigerator), you need to find an alternative way to power your home. This is where solar power energy can come in handy. You can use a portable solar power charger to power your home day or night. You might be thinking that a portable solar power charger can only be used during the day, when there will be a steady stream of the sun's rays. However, you can store energy in order to power whatever you need to, even at night. Store Power When you have a portable solar power charger powering your home, you are using the sun's rays and converting into electricity. The solar cells catch the rays from the sun and send that energy to a power generator which turns that energy into electricity. However, not all of that energy is used. The left over energy is then stored into storage cells. Then, when the sun goes down, you will have a healthy dose of energy to be used until the sun comes up again. That means that theoretically you can use your portable solar power charger day and night continuously as you will be constantly switching between actual and stored solar energy. Powering Your Home You can hook up the portable solar power charger to your home and it will power your air conditioner or heater, your stove, your fridge and more. It might not power all of it at once, you may have to be choosy about what you use and when, but it's much better than being in the dark, with the unbearable heat, and the portable solar power charger is much better than a gas powered generator. With a gas powered generator, you risk carbon monoxide poisoning, you need expensive gas to power it, they stink really bad and they're horribly noisy. With a portable solar power charger, you are using free energy from the sun, they're quiet and they will work all the time as long as you store enough energy when the sun is actually charging.
