I just recently started using a solar charger to charge a 10k mah battery pack that I use to charge my phone every night. One device “off the grid.”

Short of installing solar on my home I’d really love to be able to charge a large battery that would output 120V so I could use household appliances “off the grid.”

Does anybody have some other energy hacks, or ways to reduce your energy consumption at home that’s not just “use less energy?”

You can try a swamp cooler, which works best when it's not as humid, put a beach towel or blanket over an open windown with it's end in a pot of water, so the water soaks up through it. The evaporation produces a cooling effect. Try to put one in a window the air is coming into.
