Neighborhood Resilience
Solar, battery storage, and backup systems for household energy independence.
Most households can last 12-24 hours without grid power. Extending that to 3-7 days requires just a few key additions: a solar generator or battery system, backup lighting, and coordination with neighbors who have generators.
The few energy picks we would put first, each with a buy link we checked and a line on why it earns its place on a street.
Still a gap. Only two energy concepts have an audit-ok link. The second is a residential micro wind turbine sold through an eBay catalogue page, which we would not lead with. Lighting, battery and solar-panel picks are owed and need a re-verified retailer link.
Everything else we carry for energy. Some of these links could not be confirmed yet; the retailer has the final word on price and stock.

Three households with 1500W generators can keep 8-10 homes running essential systems (refrigerators, medical devices, lighting, charging) by rotating resources and sharing load.
Three households with modest generators can keep a block of refrigerators running if they rotate load instead of each trying to cover everything alone.
