It has been a bit of a shock, to move towards complete off-grid solar independence – but hey, that’s kind of my environment. This weekend I took (well, am taking I suppose, as we are still on the trip) my daughter to visit her mother in Colorado and this road trip was a nice easy way to ease a 10 year old off ‘wall power’ as it is sometimes refered to as. So, all of that is to say that I let her ‘test it out’! 🙂 Which wasn’t much as I saw how innately cautious she is – and that made me happy 🙂
So we took a Sunshine box in the trunk to charge our extra battery – 1 for the trip out there and 1 for the trip back. The one out there powered a fan and her phone for the whole 9 hours we were driving, and that was with a cheap inverter! I am realizing how critical it is to have DC devices. We saw a bunch of DC devices and I am going to pick one or two up and see how they work.. stay tuned!!
But yeah, so the batterys are now swaped and the box is out soaking up the Colorado sun! Looking forward to sharing the energy that we capture from here.
A few business developments have occured out here, so there will be more – Thanks for taking this in.



Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the Sunshine Box in a fun and discovery journey in a non critical environment. The people here for the most part are numb due to the lack of control each citizen has in dealing with any category hurricane that hits the island!!! Yet, as crazy as it may sound, Energy Independence does mean having essential control of your basic physical, emotional and spiritual needs and the Sunshine Box gives us this control. A radio, charge cell phones, tablets, computers, tv, a fan!!! ☀️ Even an asthma breathing treatment machine at home, when there is NO electricity!!! I’m looking forward to see how the devices you found on your travels to Colorado function and how it may impact the quality of life here on the island. Blessings ❤️🙏🏽🇵🇷☀️
