Keep calm and try setting SCE to AUX.

I have 3 of these in my home, backing up and protecting various systems.

I have a little solar charger that came with our emergency radio that works great. The thing is maybe 7X10 inches when fully unrolled and has a micro-USB connection on it. It takes about 3-4 hours to charge either of our phones from about 50%. I do not know how many watts it puts out, but I have run a Raspberry Pi directly from it with no additional power and it works fine. Plus it is flexible so it rolls up into a roll less than an inch in diameter.

The other thing you can do is get a GM alternator off any fairly late model GM car (others may work as well).
You only need three things for it to work: 1) mount it securely, . . . 2) run a shaft up from it thru the roof to a wind catcher that looks like half balls on the end of sticks, . . . they turn easy in almost no breeze, . . . 3) a battery for the alternator to charge. They have a built in voltage regulator, . . . so you can safely leave it hooked up to that battery indefinitely, . . . and with your inverter hooked to the battery, . . . you can charge all sorts of stuff.
I'm gonna fix one here at my place later this year, . . . for the same reasons.
May God bless,

If'n you're handy with small electronics projects and soldering:
Git yessef some TEC1-12706 thermoelectric peltier podules and one or two L7805 voltage regulators. The former will produce electricity from heat (like a fire), the latter will regulate it to 5VDC. Splice in a USB cord and you're charging devices off your woodburner.
Probably the same technology built into these.
You can buy 10 peltier modules and 20 regulators online for less than $25, so you can make several chargers.

I'm going out on a limb here, but there has to be some kinda "hand crank" that charge a battery?
Also, there are ways to convert 9V batteries to charge a cellphone, its slow, but better than a dead battery.
