Electricity needs when the grids down.

[earthman]

The first home that I lived in didn't even have electricity, only gas lights on the wall, this were in Notting Hill, London, now one of the wealthy places, that's hard for many to imagine hey, thankfully I moved from there at the age of 3, to a council house that had electricity.

The property that I now own came with 21 solar panels on the roof, I've since added a battery back up system and inverter so I can still power one ring main and some lights during a power cut, it's better than nothing but certainly can't power the whole house or last for weeks at a time.
