I live in the east coast of the US and we tend to have a pretty busy storm season from late spring all the way into the fall, with the occasional threat of hurricanes. My neighborhood loses power multiple times a year, and I was tired of being without power and losing all the food in our fridge and freezer. We started with a Anker C1000, which has been great for running the fridge, but we wanted to be able to run the whole house for at least a day, and also slowly begin to incorporate more solar. After a ton of research, I finally decided on the E10 with the Smart Inlet Box. So far we’ve been loving it. While we haven’t had an outage yet, it’s been awesome utilizing the time of use setting and lowering our power bills. We also added a small solar array, and hope to expand in the coming years. We feel totally ready for the next storm and being able to run the whole house for at least a day. If we are more modest with our electricity use during an outage, can probably run for a few days.

100 Storm Preppers

I absolutely love seeing everyone’s storm prepping posts!!! It really makes you think and has me thinking, “How ready is my family in the event of a storm?”

I’d like to think we’re ready with our F3800, F3800 Plus, two BP3800s, Double Power Hub (DPH), Manual Transfer Switch (MTS), C2000 Gen 2, BP2000, Anker SOLIX Alternator Charger, two C300DCs, two Anker SOLIX PS100 Solar Panels and two flexible solar panels, plus miscellaneous chargers. The labeling for the Main Panel, MTS critical loads, as well as solar inputs, and the order in which things should be turned on (F3800s, DPH, specific critical load breakers) is something we periodically discuss as a refresher for us all.

So here’s a checklist that we go through in preparation for an outage:
* Have we charged up all Portable Power Stations, battery backups, chargers, etc. to make sure they are ready for a potential outage? ✅
* Do we have a few days of water per person, per day? ✅
* Do we have enough food, along with non-perishable items, to last a few days? ✅
* Do we have batteries for flashlights, portable lanterns, or anything that we can run on battery? ✅
* Is the weather radio charged and ready to listen for potential storm related info? ✅

I’m know I’m missing a few things, but the point is, I think our Storm Prep is pretty good, We’re always looking for ways to improve our prep, while also expanding our backup power needs. A shorter term goals is adding a permanent solar array to extend our back up power run time. We know realistically, if we budget our usage, we could last 24-48 hours. But anything beyond that would either require that short term goal or a couple longer term goals of adding a tri-fuel generator or more BP3800s.

Thanks for reading my post! I look forward to continuing to see what other’s storm prepping entails!!

Hey everyone, I just paid the $800 when purchasing the E10 smart panel system on Anker website for installation cost and the third-party provider outsourced a local electrician to install the system. Does this installation look proper to those that have had the ET installed? The tech installed system recessed into my drywall and recommended not to use the bracket that came with the system for securing it to the concrete base in my garage so the system is leaning a little bit. Just checking if this is normal for everyone else as well?
