Depends on what/how much your trying to run [/quote]

My boss has a solar plus Tesla power wall as emergency power in place of a whole house generator, and he seems pretty happy with it. The local utilities keep shutting off his electricity during wildfire season, so it gets lots of use.

If you're looking for something portable, there's the perviously mentioned Jackary power banks, as well as Whisperpower systems.

Caveat Emptor for any lithium battery based systems. The battery life (charge/discharge cycles) goes way up if you don't charge it past about 80%, and don't run it flat. It's not really an issue with emergency use only, but if you take it camping every other weekend...
