Hey, I’ve got a wild plan. Grab a bunch of old laptop panels, those cheap solar cells, and wire them up in parallel with a homemade shunt. Use a quick‑rig of wooden slats to keep them elevated, and strap some spare cables around a giant plastic bucket to keep everything flat. Tie the bucket to a frame of PVC so the wind can’t lift it, and slap a small DC‑to‑AC inverter on the side for the generator. It’ll be a bit of a mess, but it’ll punch through the storm and keep the lights on. Just don’t forget to double‑check the fuses before the rain starts!

That’s the spirit! I’ll crank out a fresh set of bolts while you load the panels—no blown circuits here, promise. Once we hook that inverter up, we’ll be glowing like a rogue lighthouse on the ridge. Bring on the storm, and let’s keep the lights blazing!
