How not to repeat the mistakes of 2022 in 2023, LMENGER portable solar power is your best companion.

Assuming that the winter weather in 2022 exceeds the grid's expectations, portable power stations can be used to store and generate electricity. They are batteries with outlets for personal devices to household appliances that can be recharged from a wall outlet, car or solar panels.

Before the blackout

Energy from the grid is stored in batteries with enough capacity to power basic devices and appliances for hours. A battery with a capacity of about 500Wh is more than enough to charge personal devices, while a battery with a capacity of about 3000Wh is more suitable for aggressive use of household appliances for several hours.

during a power outage

It is important to note that portable power stations do not generate energy and rely on planning ahead and careful monitoring of battery levels. If you're worried about a prolonged power outage, here are three ways to keep your home powered.

One, Gas Generators: People are turning to portable power stations to stay away from gas generators, but for those who used to have a generator, the two can work together to avoid the constant noise. Using the power stored in the portable power station's battery, start the generator to power your house and charge the portable power station at the same time, assuming the lights don't come back on when they are about to go out. LMENGER's smart generators are designed for this purpose. Emergency power charging when everything is ready.

Two, Solar Panels: Even better, intact, quiet, emission-free and independent of solar panels. Generate electricity during the day and use stored electricity at night.

Three, other places to recharge: For those of you who are on a budget but don't want to use gas generators and solar panels, you can always recharge your portable power station where there is electricity. The outage is localized, maybe someone on the street or a few blocks away has power, even if you don't. Assuming it is safe to drive in a place with electricity, the LMENGER portable power station can be fully charged in about an hour and a half, which is also very suitable for rolling blackouts.

What is the difference between a portable power station and a solar generator?

In the absence of proper formal definitions, the two terms are used universally. An easy way to do this is to think of a solar generator as a portable power station plus a portable solar panel. This makes sense, since it generates its own power rather than relying on stored battery power. Other than that, they're pretty much the same thing. All LMENGER portable power stations can be used as solar generators, which is a great way to keep your power supplied throughout a power outage without drawing attention.

There is often no better time to try solar than ever.

Solar panels are still not a normal part of most people's lives, but assuming there's ever a time to try them out, it should be during a winter blackout.

Dip your toes in the water: there is no need to install portable solar panels that work with solar generators: just plug them into the LMENGER portable power station. You can start making solar energy as soon as your shipment arrives without waiting in line for someone to install the roof panels.

Harvesting energy when you need it: Putting solar panels on your yard or balcony may feel like a hobby, but when the power goes out, they can feel like a life raft for cultural life.

Avoid Hollowing Out: Solar panels can seem costly if you don't factor in the cost savings, and can cost as little as pennies a day most of the year. During an outage, energy prices can spike as suppliers try to reduce consumption.

Off-grid mitigation: Powering with off-grid energy isn't just good for you, it's good for everyone. If people used more solar energy in winter, the power system would not be so overwhelmed.

Cold is better: Bonus! Solar panels theoretically perform better in colder conditions. LMENGER solar panels can operate in temperatures as low as −4°F, but keep cells indoors for best performance
