During 2023, electricity was very unreliable in Cape Town, South Africa. We bought an EcoFlow Delta Pro and a pair of solar panels. I "installed" the solar panels by laying them flat on top of the breezeway between our kitchen and garage. We left our refrigerator plugged into the EcoFlow all the time, and so we never lost the contents of our fridge. The EcoFlow was not connected in any way to the electrical panel of our house, though.
