Experiences with using portable solar generators to run lighting off grid? « on: November 19, 2024, 02:13:22 AM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
After I have been using a Jackery Explorer 290 solar generator with a pure sine wave inverter to power my 2024 Halloween costume that consists of using a 40W T9 circline fluorescent lamp as a necklace that runs off a single lamp F40T12 preheat fluorescent ballast along with using it to run a few low wattage HID lamps such as 100W H38 mercury vapor lamps, 75W H43 mercury vapor lamps, and 35W S76 high pressure sodium lamps; I am beginning to wonder if anybody else has ever tried using portable solar generators to power any of their lighting collection off grid before. If so, what are your experiences of running your lighting collection off grid using solar generators?

Here are some examples of solar generators currently on the market:
