I use the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 for a 80 sq ft. tiny house. It generates power from 3x 315W solar panels on the ground tilted with HF plastic horses. Works great after almost one year. I think that is a great solution.

It runs a small fridge, Tmobile Internet Gateway, Eufy S380, a local AI I built on AlderLake hardware, Small LCD TV, DVD Player, and a few other things. Stores a lot of power.
Same one I use. So far, so good.

ordered a apc pro 1500va last night. math says it should run my 15w return pump for 400ish minutes. it arrives tomorrow

today we just had a 20 minute black out because of the wind. had to run to my brother's and grab his ups and a inverter.

I realized in longer outages I can hook a inverter up to my 100ah battery I have in my camper which has 200w of solar and is charged all the time. and then just run a extension cord out to it.


edit: on our 3rd blackout now. transformers all around keep blowing
