Have you ever thought about how great it would be to get a solar panel for your home? It would be awesome to stick it to the power companies who have been bleeding you dry with their constant price increases without adding any additional benefits wouldn't it?

But there may be reasons why you can't add solar panels to your home.

• If you're in an apartment or condo, the landlord or condo corp might not look too kindly to you putting one on your balcony.
• The start up costs are admittedly high
• You might simply not have the skills to install a solar panel yourself.

But fret not. You can always get a portable solar power generator. Similar to a gas powered generator, and about the same cost, a portable solar power generator can be great for many uses.

• during a power outage they have the added benefit of being useful if there's also a gas shortage.
• If you're in a remote area where electricity is non existent and you need to use your lap top or any other medium draw electronic.

Another benefit over a gas powered generator is that they do not emit any air pollution and little or no noise pollution.

Some things to watch for in choosing one are to make sure the solar panel you buy can handle your needs. To do so check amps of your electronics and the panel you intend to buy. There have been cases where reading negative reviews on Amazon people have chosen a solar panel that wouldn't be able to carry the load of their lap top and the thing wouldn't power their computer.
