Backyard shed solar...use a portable power station?
Hey all, Building a shed/chicken coop in the backyard and want to have some power out there for a couple of lights, security cameras, etc.. Not enough to justify the expense of running an electric line, and too far to run an extension cord.

Compared to a traditional solar setup, they would take the place of 3 of the 4 parts. I like the idea of that simplicity, plus the ability to bring it to the house to power an appliance or two if the house were to ever lose power. However, I'm not sure about the downsides (durability, longevity, etc.)?Read More
