Some comments about this we saw on the web:

* /u/thefinn93 on /r/BurningMan Our small camp of 5-6 takes a somewhat different approach. Our lighting is primarily strands of LEDs with build in panel, battery, etc that turn themselves on when it gets dark (such as these). We also have a number of battery powered lanterns (like this). Takes like 10 D cell batteries, which have lasted us 2 burns so far and showing no signs of dying.

I also have a solar system for non-essentials (wifi, phone/radio/camera charging, swamp coolers). I’ve got a few panels off craigslist (although Amazon is cheaper, as I later discovered, $125 or so for 100W), combined with a deep cycle marine battery or two (from craigslist or Costco) and of course a charge controller (Harbor Frieght, Amazon… idk, mine came with my over priced craigslist panels) worked well for all of that. In 2014 things got kind of last minute, so we ended up using an inverter for AC power, which was extremely silly as everything we were plugging in promptly changed it back to DC, so in 2015 we got a couple of DC-to-DC converters to step the voltage up or down as needed, and never went to AC. A lot of the stuff took 12V DC which was handy.

That’s just our setup, idk if it helps or is a terribly good idea…
