Let me set the scene:
Late September 2024 Hurricane Helene was barreling down on Charlotte, NC. Strong winds, heavy rain, and historic flooding to the area, causing widespread damage and power outages. The wind is howling, the lights flicker once, twice, and then… boom. Darkness. The power’s gone. The fridge is warming up like it’s on vacation, my iPhone battery is at 16%, and my laptop is basically a decorative Dell paperweight. Cue dramatic music.
But wait—what’s that glimmer of hope by my desk? It’s the Simply Conserve® Solar Power Bank, basking like a lizard in the last rays of daylight. And let me tell you—this little guy showed up for me.
All day long, while the power grid took a personal day, this solar sidekick kept my phone alive for emergency updates, doomscrolling, and—most critically—sending memes to friends trapped in similar candle-lit chaos. My laptop? Fully juiced and I had to work. I checked my email, finished a report and a PowerPoint presentation
And the best part? It didn’t even break a sweat. Solar charging during the day and charging my devices at night like a little renewable overachiever. It’s light, portable, and durable—basically the Bear Grylls of battery backups.
So yes, I survived Hurricane Helene thanks to canned soup, a lot of trail mix, and my trusty Simply Conserve® Solar Power Bank. If you’re building a sustainable, storm-ready summer kit, don’t sleep on this mighty miracle. Just give it some sun, and it’ll return the favor.
The Solar Power Bank provides up to 10 hours of additional device time with 1-2 refiles per charge*. Plus, customize it for the perfect kit or giveaway item with your brand’s logo for your next event or kit order.
*Based on moderate smart phone usage and typical battery capacities.
