Solar Power Survival Guide

January 1, 2017, the day the world will end.

We thought we had dodged the bullet when we survived the Mayan calendar’s predicted end in December 2012. However, naysayers believe the end is nigh once more. So how can you prepare for doomsday? 

Renewable energy through solar financing options seems to be the best chance at survival. By planning ahead, you won’t have to scavenge to withstand the end of times. The following are a list of apocalypse-approved items to add to your collection this year so you come out a survivor in the New Year.

Lantern

When the world falls apart and electricity is no longer available light, will be the difference between life and death. These lanterns charge by day and produce extreme brightness at night. For the small cost $18 you can watch your back without needing to carry batteries.

Radio

When there is no more television or Internet, those of us who didn’t look into solar financing will be kicking ourselves. The only way to know what’s happening in the world will be radio. With access to a solar powered radio that costs $35, you can keep tabs on AM, FM and NOAA weather channels. A built in flashlight makes this multi-use survival device ideal.  

Generator

For only $335 you can maintain the charge on all your gadgets. A seemingly large investment, this solar powered generator is an investment that can keep you connected until help finds you. Though cell phones will probably be useless at this point, you can take a killer selfie to share with your friends on your fully charged cell phone, or rather you can keep an electric heater going to survive cold winter months of the apocalypse.

Solar Panels

The best solution for doomsday remains planning ahead and preparing your house with solar panels. With solar financing options through all renewable energy companies, it’s almost silly not to plan ahead — have we not learned anything from “The Walking Dead”?
