Summary
An emergency solar power system on a PVC frame, pairing a reclaimed photovoltaic panel with a LiFePO4 battery, charge controller and inverter, alongside a separate box of emergency preparedness supplies.
The source notes that a reclaimed solar panel greatly reduced their cost and recommends doing the same; reclaimed panels can be free or heavily discounted. They also repurposed two used boxes.
