Whether you’re working in a remote space, renovating before the electricity’s on, or just looking to save on your utilities bill, solar generators are taking the DIY game to the next level. By combining a portable power station with solar panels, you technically have unlimited power. Your new setup won’t just convert solar energy into electricity, it’ll also store it for later, so you can get started on (and complete) projects like a pro.
Here’s how it’s done…
Boost Your Shed’s Status
Your shed can be so much more than storage space. With some shelves, a new deck, and reinforced frames, you can turn your shed into a home office, gym, or anything you desire.
You only need a couple of tools to build a shed, but to upgrade it, you’re going to need power. A Jackery’s Solar Generator Plus is packed with power, and is long lasting too, which means you won’t be running back and forth from the house with chargers and extension cords.
In terms of the project size, think somewhere between building a granny flat and designing a man cave… without the power issues. Start by replacing those dodgy corrugated iron walls with some flush wooden panels. If you’re feeling fancy, you can create a deck and overhanging awning. Get some inspo for this project here.
Add the finishing touches by installing some shelves and decorating your new space with all the trophies and collectibles that aren’t allowed in the house. You can then use your generator to power your new home office.
Grand Garden Revival
This is also your chance to overhaul your garden space, and for that you’re also going to need power. With Jackery’s Solar Generator 2000 Plus, you’ve got it in spades (pun intended). We’re talking up to 6000W and a handy wheel design that will be with you every step of the way across your garden. You can raise a garden bed, install some outdoor lighting and create an alfresco entertainment space, all in one go.
A big project’s going to need a big power supply. A solar generator makes this part easier. After you’ve cut, drilled and secured your wooden garden bed, fill it with soil and plant your new patch of nature. To really take it up a level you could pave your patio or build a deck, add a table and chairs and create an outdoor entertaining space to enjoy all year round.
You’ll still need some lighting fixtures for both the garden and the entertainment area. That’s where your generator comes in handy, supplying you with on-demand power, whenever you want to use your new space.
Renovating Before Power
Don’t wait around for the sparky to kick start your renos! Whether you’re looking to cut down on labour costs or just things done on your own time, a solar power solution lets you do it yourself.
You’ll be completely off the grid, but completely powered… not to mention safe. There are always projects where you need the professionals, but Jackery’s suite of generators are purpose built to supply you with the power you need, safely, with over 60 safety features.
Not only can you get a headstart on your new home, but also renovate your current home without the inconvenience. You can lose a kitchen or laundry, without losing your appliances thanks to the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus’ massive 3000W output (expandable to 6000W). That means one charge will let you put on a load of washing, slow cook dinner for the family, or keep a bar fridge stocked with cold beers for when you knock off. In tradie terms, that’s a half an hour using a welding machine… without even turning the power on!
Once your project’s done, you’ll still have access to your own, gridless electricity. Charge your phone, laptop or tools and save on your power bill, or better yet, rest easy knowing you’ll have a backup generator in case of emergencies. Jackery’s Solar Generator Plus last for up to 10 years even with daily use and comes with a 5 year warranty, so it’s ready to assist you with whatever you’re working on.
Now that you’re taking your DIY game out into the open, check out Jackery’s new Solar Generation Plus Series. They’ve got different products for different needs, but all with amazing features like fast charging, USB outlets for power, and weatherproofing in wet or hot conditions.
