I have a large enough solar panel to easily charge some batteries for cellphone or HAM radio comm gear, flashlight batteries, etc. But if we're out of power for 24+ hours I think we have bigger problems than just emergency communications.
I'm thinking no cool air conditioning or furnace heat, no TV, spoiled food from warm refrigerator, etc. We have a gas range plus the BBQ grill out back for cooking, if the food's not spoiled. Our fireplace is gas and can be ignited w/o mains power.
