Solar gen - first test

[Eastexasrick]

That's worth considering; I could lose the inverter and use a 12v fan. Can you tell me more about the 250w solar unit you charged with?

Cheap panel like this. I got mine at camping world. Cheap controller, $23. RV/boat battery's from Acadamy. If you go 12v fan you need no inverter.

Power is back and still on; the Oupes was my go-to for a fan if/when the gens failed. This matter isn't a convenience of comfort; it's one of physical/medical survival...so I need to find a method I can bet my life on.

We have 3 battery operated fans that run off of D cell batteries, just in case our solar system and the backup generator shit-the-bed.

Likely y'all are tired of hearing about my living in a primitive manner, so I'll cut right to it. All I need to physically survive is a fan. Heat is no longer a problem; I've acclimated and actually enjoy it... mid-upper 90s when it's also low (<60%) humidity out there. So... the goal now is how to power a fan, in the simplest manner, with components that are unlikely to fail.

Any other ideas are more than welcome, and very much appreciated.

MG, we never tire of your ideas.
