A project I keep putting off is a solar power cart. Something that is the form factor of a hand truck, that I can wheel around my property, lift up into my pickup truck, etc. A solar panel on the "front" (that may unfold into a wider area but should fold up to approximately hand truck size), enough battery, charger, inverter etc. to:
Hurricanes, snow storms, tornadoes, dead trees, vehicle accidents and at least one Republican campaign rally down at the substation have taken my power down, and I'd like to just have the solution to that without dealing with gasoline in jerry cans. And most of the year I'd like to run power tools off-grid.
