As a mobile home owner, the last natural disaster tells me I need Solar Back up.
Can anyone tell me where I could get a solar generator that will run a double wide mobile home, or energy sources? ideas welcome.

Thanks

Where are you (WV, CO, IA,...) how much power do you need, what do you
want to power, and (without wanting to be nosey) what kind of budget
constraints are you under?

I am in NJ. I don't know how much power, the thing is I am seeking a generator that will at least run a fridge and some Utilities. I gues 120 AC.

Your better off with a small Honda generator. I'm on LI and have a 2Kw
generator and a couple of 5 gallon gas cans.
The generator is run outdoors.
Its enough to run the fridge, microwave, a small hot plate for cooking
and other stuff(not all at the same time)
If you want to run your home heating system ( for hot water or heat)
then you would need an electrician to install a transfer switch to power
the boiler or parts of the house. But most people do fine with a
generator and an extension cord. Its up to you how elaborate you want to
get.

In article <d7ef33e4-4c93-4498...@googlegroups.com>,
A lot depends on "solar" exposure. S facing is good, lack of shade, too.
Things to consider when looking for a 'place".
and in Earthquake country, leave the suspension in place on a trailer.
you might need it.
