For those who have backup solar panels for emergency lighting or off grid energy and thinking ahead for WTSHTF scenario, how are you planning on protecting against potential EMP?
Am I right in believing that an EMP will only take out all electronics not shielded at the time and those particularly sensitive to this such as the diodes in Solar Panels and LED Lights?
If so, I realise that some have backup Solar Panels buried as a backup. What about Solar Panels and LED lighting you have in use at the time? Do you think it possible to just take the hit and have a bunch of diodes to replace inside the Solar Panels after any potential EMP? E.g. solar flares, advanced weaponry for economic war etc?
I figure LED light blubs eventually will come down further in price and it will not be difficult to have a load of spare bulbs for your lighting should the ones you're using be taken out by an EMP. For those with Solar Panels though who can't afford to buy spare panels to bury I am thinking this is the alternative?
If this is the best alternative then would be interesting to know what type of diodes are used in solar panels so people taking this route can buy a bunch of them and shield them away somewhere safe along with spare LED bulbs.
Thanks for any advice on this!
