If I were to invest in solar PV and battery storage, I believe that the inverter can invert the DCV to 110 and 220V.

Even if this could work it would be highly impractical..... Especially if you were to try to do this on a large scale.

I had my old clunker laptop with me on my Ecuador and Peru tour last year. The battery for the laptop lasted 20-30 minutes so I had it plugged in at the Tarapoto hotel and hostal. I had no issues

Any electrical device will show it voltage requirement near the place where the cord connects to the device or on the plug end, in the case of transformer [ chargers ]. Most Laptop's cords automatically adapt and can use 110 or 220.

Will I be able to chip my Samsung Galaxy Note with Moviestar?

There are two main and one third networks here. Claro, Movistar and Entel.... Each has there own network. If your Samsung is Unlockable and had a Sim Card that you can remove and replace then I think it will work. There may be a problem with voice mail messaging but you would have phone functionality. In any case, you can on contract get a phone for a fair price OR simply buy a phone on sale here and hook it up. You can go contract or go ' pre paid ' where you buy credits and then can recharge in many places. Remember, you need phone credits and data credits for a smart phone for internet. Really, easier to go with a contract with a local network here.

Will my DCV battery charger power up my AAA re-chargables?

.... Only if the charger is capable of using the 220v here. If so,, then it will work. But,, for instance.... you can get a box of 24 AA alkalines at Radio Shack for about s/.25.00 or $8. AAA I don't know but somewhere in that price neighborhood.

My foremost reason to submit to the dumb phone was for the Spanish translator app.

Yeah, I understand but know that there are Translator apps available here for smart phones for free in the phone's app store / you just download ... but you have to have a data connection to use.

Do not get confused with adaptors or converters. Converters change the Voltage. ok,, fine.
Adaptors just adapt the connector to the wall outlet... so it will fit in to the plug. There are a few kinds here even thought the wall is putting out 220v there is | |
