The monthly series of public service announcements and events culminates in America's PrepareAthon! As an added incentive for citizens be more prepared for all types of emergencies, SUNRNR will offer $150 off an upgrade to a second set of solar panels with any purchase of a SUNRNR portable generator system through September 30, 2016. If buying in the U.S., purchasers have the option of receiving a free AC-DC charger with purchase instead. The online chat and sales promotion are part of SUNRNR's ongoing commitment to educate consumers about energy issues, consumption, and conservation in relation to disaster preparedness. Together, the hundreds of SUNRNR's in use to date would make a 135kW solar-plus-storage power plant, but with no infrastructure required. Combined, their total 1GWh would have required over 300,000 gallons of fossil fuel (2700 tons CO2) for comparable gas generators, or caused 700 tons of emissions if grid-generated. End
