you still need a power source, how does that help during a power blackout?
Provides minimal cooling, You get what you pay for.
How you making ice if the power isn’t on?
Makes good sense, but where did he buy the power at Home Depot. Doesn’t anyone screen these.
Just a thought, do this ahead of time when the power is still on?
How would you power the blower unit.
He’s using a 12v fan powered by a 15 watt solar panel.
All that for some air. How about refridgeration or lights.
