This article is about how I built my first solar-powered workstation to survive a potential energy-crisis. Price for energy is rising in Europe, electricity is getting more expensive but I'll still have to do my job somehow so, for me, the solution is becoming independent from public utility network as quickly as possible. Not because it's cheaper, it's not cheaper at all in short term; I consume what I produce with my own utilities and I have to maintain them on my own and maintenance costs extra money. It simply makes me feel more secure that I can continue working even when power is completely out of public network.
