solar generator seems to fit your requirement (Score 1)

Sorry, this is a duplicate post, but I am new here and accidently posted a reply to another individual's response. Here's my two cents: Some companies make "solar generators". You can do a google search to find them. They are... 1. 'self contained' & ready to operate right out of the box! 2. not required to have 'permits' for use 3. not 'application specific' and can be used for other purposes I'll be using one this coming weekend for Field Day (I'm a HAM operator). The one we are using is called a Solar Stik, and it's probably more than the average person can afford, but they have several other manufacturers of solar generators listed on their website. The solar stik website is actually a decent resource for information regarding solar power in general as well. Good luck!
