20 Best 500 Watt Solar Generator (2022 Updated)

Saw this reviewed on youtube and decided to buy one myself. A fantastic wee solar generator. Charges all my metal detecting gear in the field so I never worry about running low on power. I use it for camping too.

Its so handy and silent too for powering my fan during the hot nights. I dont use the jackery 100w solar panel to charge though as it takes 5hr/5 1/2hr to charge on a cloudless sunny day. There’s better solar panels out there shop around, suit your own needs.

I use the Elecaenta 120w and it saves me an hour (approx) on solar charging. You can also charge from mains if you’re stuck or use your cars 12v socket (that takes the longest at 6 hrs). Overall ideal for small devices but you’ll have to get a bigger one for power tools, large tvs and such.

I really like it.

Purchased one of these to run my telescope equipment and I get 5x the run time than from my old Celestron power pack. When charged it holds it for ages. I charged mine to 100% and weeks after it was still at that level.

Has a 240v output that I actually ran my router on during a lengthy power cut. A really great power pack. Not as cheap as some but you definitely get what you pay for. Quality is outstanding.

This is great only for camping etc but also for using laptops, power tools & other items away from the mains. so convenient, I use it all the time. if I was redesigning it I would make the 3-pin socket higher up, as it is too low to insert some plugs with stiff cables unless you stand the item on something.

The reason I chose the PowerHouse 11 800 over all the high profile options was because I already have a boatload of Anker products. I have a fistful of cables and “auto plug” adapters. I have two of their high-powered usb chargers and 5 of their PowerCores in various editions and all of them have been five star in terms of fit and finish and performance.

Unfortunately I cannot say the same about the PowerHouse 11 800 and here is why. First thing out of the chute , the device I received was *apprently* defective right out of the box. That was no juice from the “auto plug”.

Anker sent a replacement which worked ( though last night at one point I had to jump through some hoops to activate the “auto-plug” outlet. I hope that’s not a sign of a continuing problem). The second bit of negativity is the lack of documentation.

Documentation that came with my unit was an eight page booklet which is nothing more than a quick start manual. Other units that I have considered had far more complete manuals posted online that went into far greater detail regarding their devices.

Of course it does not take a rocket science to operate one of these but I would have found it helpful to have some idea regarding the specs of the built-in solar controller and inverter as I plan to use this as part of a solar package.

Based on the lack of documentation and quality control concerns I feel like must deduct one star. Otherwise the fit and finish seem to be what I expected I ran my CPAP machine DC to DC for 10 hours and still had 90% capacity left.

I ran my electric blanket via the inverter for 8 hours and still had 55% capacity left. And just for grins I ran a 75 watt light bulb (pulling 72 watts) for 1 hour via the inverter and had 90% capacity left.

The performance is just about what I expected when I bought the unit. I also appreciate the fact that I can charge it up in short order using the USB power cube that came with my MacBook Pro so I don’t have to pull out that wanky AC charger.

I have yet to test it with solar but I have no reason to expect any issues there. Bottom line, the unit meets my expectations and had it not been for the lack of documentation and concerns about quality control I would have given it five stars.

As it is, I am going to give it a provisional four stars on the assumption that the “auto plug” issue I experienced was just an aberration and not a design issue.

I received my yeti 500X on 8/12/2020, I have used my yeti about 3 or 4 times a week. I read about the charge cycles and then spent time at the Battery University regarding the battery used in the Yeti 500X.

The day I received my Yeti 500X I charged it to 100% just like the instructions indicate. Then after it was charged up I used it until it was at 17%, and then I charged it up to 85 to 87%. I have cycled my Yeti 500X over several hundred times at maximum charge 87% and maximum discharge to 17%.

I also don’t fast charge my Yeti 500X, I use a couple of boulder 100 panels to charge up my Yeti 500X. I know there were some software issues when this unit first came out. I waited a while before I purchased my own Yeti 500X.

I am glad to say my Yeti 500X hasn’t had any issues and has been very reliable. There are a few and I mean very few times when I charged my Yeti 500X to 100% due to some upcoming snow storms here in Montana.

I will say I do wish the price point was lower but having said that I still remember what my dad told me ” you get what you pay for” so I will say due to the excellent customer service I have had, I will say the Yeti 500X is worth the money.

I will also say I first purchased the Yeti 200X to see how it would handle heat and cold and being thrown around in a pickup before buying the 500X. The 200X worked fine for almost 2 years and then one of the USB ports quit working, I was about a month away from the 2 year warranty so I called customer service to report the issue.

I had saved my box and after speaking to customer service I followed the instructions and sent my Yeti 200X back to Goal Zero. Soon thereafter I had a new 200X. This isn’t the first time I experienced great customer service from Goal Zero.

I had to recently contact Goal Zero as a new Yeti 1000X I had purchased from Costco for a really great price, wouldn’t even turn on, battery was wasted or so I thought. The guy at Goal Zero customer service gave me some advise as to how to get this dead Yeti 1000X up and running.

I closely followed his instructions and after a few charge and discharge cycles it is working like it should, and so I wish to say to the people at Goal Zero customer service a big THANK YOU. I am truly pleased with my Yeti 500X.

Keep up the good work Goal Zero. Just my thoughts from the banana belt of central Montana.

There are tons of reviews detailing the pros and cons of this unit. What’s difficult to find is real world data that can let you know if this will take the place of an expensive dual battery system. For me it does.

For my use case, I wanted something to act as a buffer, so that I could power a fridge from my Jeep en route and then seamlessly run off battery without risking the ability to start the vehicle. It’s hard to find in GZ literature whether you can charge and power devices at the same time.

You can. I have this plugged into the inverter outlet in my Gladiator’s bed and the fridge plugged into the GZ. When I’m driving the fridge is powered through the GZ and I don’t have to fiddle with anything when I stop to camp.

I do recommend GZ’s 120W fast charger. Every time I move to another spot the GZ has been fully charged upon arrival. The fast charger takes about 4 hours from dead. Testing at home, I was able to power the fridge for about 48 hours.

In the field, when running solely on battery power my ARB Classic II 63 QT can maintain a sub 32 degree internal temperature in 70-85 degree ambient temperature for about 2 overnights, a solid day and until noon the following day (about 40 hours).

So this is about 2 days. This with opening the full fridge to get drinks, prepare meals, etc. This is without any charging or assistance from a solar panel. I’m looking at solar power systems to extend this, but for my style of overlanding, where I like to explore and move around every few days, this unit has so far been perfect.

I’ve also been able to use it to charge a few lanterns while running the fridge. Obviously, other people’s experiences may differ with other ambient temps and other fridges and additional loads. A Geyser systems shower for example will draw 15% of this units battery to heat fully.

So for 2 showers, and the fridge, expect about 1 day/overnight of power. I hope this provides a baseline of what people can expect.

After unboxing the Yeti 500X in spring of 2020 I was excited about using it on long road trips and outdoor adventures. You can charge things many different ways but the bottom line is this is not a good battery.

I would charge our phones and a few other small electronics a couple of times before dying quickly and needing a long recharge. This was certainly not great for a product that was so expensive to begin with but I figured it just wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

I used it a few times a year for longer trips and always made sure it was charged but did not leave it plugged in 24/7. When I plugged it in to charge it before a trip this year in spring 2022, just two years later, it would not charge at all and died for good.

After contacting Goal Zero they simply explained that these batteries need to be plugged in 24/7 or they will die. It was (barely) past the two year warranty and their was nothing they would be willing to do to make up for their poorly designed expensive product.

SERIOUS BUYER BEWARE. Also disappointed with REI for carrying a line of products, that is backed by a company that doesn’t want to make it right with their customers as REI has always made it a point of doing in the past.

The portable power station arrived with 42% charge and was at 100% after a few hours charge from the solar panel. Very straightforward to use, and I really like that it shows the power output at any point.

Very pleased with it!.

We bought it to use with a solar panel to power camping fridge. It has really clear battery and charging screen which is also very accurate, to be able to charge multiple items and use solar to boost and charge is a fantastic luxury meaning we can be away for as long as we want and still keep food safe to eat.

I love the explorer 500. For RV living, I think it’s great. Easy to use and carry. It charges my phone and iPad and speakers with no problem. I use roadpro equipment and I can go 2 sometimes 3 days without recharging.

The solar panels are lightweight but that can be a negative in bad weather and especially high winds. (Blew off my suv) it does charge in a thunderstorm although watts very as the clouds move. Debris collects in the edges especially at the beach.

Bottom corners wear out, so placement is a concern. But even after blowing over, no damage to the panels themselves. Overall I’m very pleased with the product. Thinking about buying the 1500 for more wh’s.

It would last longer with less recharging. Which means longer battery life. Thanks Jackery!.

Jackery makes the most robust and highest value solar generators on the market. I have a goal zero, anker, Bluetti and EcoFlow but my favorite are the Jackery. Price cant be beat either – especially for the high quality lithium cells.

Overall, the 500 represents a great do-all package which is big enough to power almost everything yet small enough to take on every camping adventure.

This is my second Jackery 500. We use it in our camper van as an alternative to an expensive solar lithium battery setup that would cost thousands. We had considered upgrading to the 1000 watt unit but decided to go with a second 500 so that we can switch them out.

One of these will run our 12 volt refrigerator for a couple of days.

Finally there is a solar generator I have enough confidence in to purchase! So far, so good. Natures Generator is very easy to set up and use, even for someone like me who has no mechanical skills. A strong selling point is that you can easily add more solar panels and pods if more power is needed.

There is also a small wind turbine available that can be plugged into the generator as a power source. That is exactly what I was looking for: this generator charges with the sun, with wind, and by plugging it in to regular household current.

Then just plug in your small appliances and usb cords. I appreciate the fact that you can check the level of charge and the amount of power being used. Add that the generator is on wheels so it can be moved and it is exactly what I have been looking for!.

Generator arrived the day before fully charged. Hurricane hit, plugged in my fridge and a large freezer and a small chest freezer. Woke up around 8am to my neighbors all cranking up their gas generators.

I did not even make the effort to start my larger gas generator because the Nature’s best was still at 80% plus. Power came back up at 4:30 pm. No sun, still had 40% power left. Unit in my house, didn’t have to worry about theft, CO2 fuel.

Left me get all the wood off my windows, clean up debris. As I add pods I fully expect to get the full storage I need. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO MY FRIENDS AND ANYONE READING THIS. GERRYO.

Thank you Benjamin and Nate for always being there for us. it seems nature’s generator knows how to treat their customers We bought our nature’s generator about a year ago. after the hurricane Erma came through FL about 4 yrs ago.

We had to live with out power for 32 days. so we saved to buy a solar generator. so we would not have to go out and buy gas. We have also been buying battery operated things for our home like a electric lawn mower tree trimmers blowers and a little battery inverters with 5 hour battery.

generator can charge all of the batteries. I am on oxygen I have 2- 5 hour batteries that can be charged from my nature’s generator with in a few hours. I can run my panda washer and dryer on air puff for free energy.

we are also watching tv with Roko & A fan every day on the generator as I charge other things when need. I turn it off when I go to bed and turn it on in the morning and it still has a lot of charge left from the day before.

I know it is mostly for camping but I use it every day to lower my electric bill we are so happy with our platinum nature’s generator it came with the 2 fifty foot cords and the connecters with 3 100 watt panels we did buy another panel.

and hope to add as time goes by. Just wanted to share this with others who might be looking for the same thing. The company has helped me with any question I have had. that gives me comfort to know they are only a phone call away.

I hope my review helps some one out there like us. 😊.

PART 2: I like the EP500s I purchased, except that they were marketed as being a “whole house” back-up system. What I’ve discovered after purchase, is that they are in fact, not really capable of that.

If your home was built in the last ~20 -30 years or so, it likely has 30 amp heating/cooling, a 30 amp water heater (perhaps). These whole house systems of 30 amps cannot be run with the EP500s, even in SPB status.

The whole house systems also require too much wattage to be run with the EP500s If you wish to run a portable air conditioner and heat/cool your house with space heaters and fans, I believe that can be handled.

I only wish the EP500 hadn’t been referred to as PART 2: I like the EP500s I purchased, except that they were marketed as being a “whole house” back-up system. What I’ve discovered after purchase, is that they are in fact, not really capable of that.

I only wish the EP500 hadn’t been referred to as being able: ” to run your entire home for a day or two”. Please think about this fact before your purchase. I believe these units will be an asset during an outage, but not “whole house capable” as described.

I like Bluetti and these units, even after my discovery!.

I bought two of the EP500 Pro units that don’t seem to be available now on the Kickstarter program. They can output more power for peak demand and have two 1200 watt solar inputs but beyond that are similar to the EP500.

I like the units and I especially like the fact that they can leave with me if I sell my house. They are currently only set up to allow me to ride out a short power outage and can do that job very well.

My plan is to connect them to a sub-panel so that I can power certain outlets and lighting circuits in the house during a power outage. I have Tesla solar panels but they cannot be used when the grid down ( Powerwall needed for that capability ).

The EP500 units can take a PV array with a max Voc of 150 volts which equates to three modern rooftop solar panels. I can’t decide if it is worth putting panels on the roof and permanently wiring them into the EP500s or just having them stacked to lay out on the drive if we have a prolonged outage.

Overall, happy with the product. Note that they draw a full 15 amps to recharge so they need to go directly into the wall or else you have to use a very heavy duty extension cord – 12 gauge – if you want to avoid fire risk and melting plastic smells.

Bought the EP500Pro on Kickstarter. Charged it and left it in the closet. Just had first power outage that lasted about 6 hours starting in the evening. Ran three fridge/freezers/charged two phones and it consumed about 20% of the battery.

Very satisfied and I plan on buying a second for whole home backup. Have two 200w solar panels I didn’t get to crack open since it was evening but I feel comfortable saying I can sleep when the wind blows now.

Very well packaged which was encouraging. Out of the box the AC200 max came 67% charged, plugged it in and started charging. Took a couple of hours to get it to 100%. The item looks well made and well laid out as far as sockets go.

I wont know till I start using it properly will i find out how it really works. All the cables are nicely packaged and seem to be of a decent quality. My only concern is that the uit could get damaged without some sort of protective cover and I dont think Bluetti make one for the 200 max??.

Worked When It Needed To We had lost power for about 12 hours during a bad storm. I hooked up the BluettiAC200MAX and it easily powered our refrigerator, saving us a few hundred dollars in food that we didn’t need to throw away.

Great product!.

Good function, with updated firmware it becomes good back up solution. Somewhat loud charging fan intermittently, will have to use 12V car changing adaptor to charge at a lower rate and lowered noise.

Bought this close to a year ago and haven’t had any real need to use it, thankfully. I keep it indoors and charge it periodically. Both times I have brought it out to charge it (approximately 4 months apart) the battery has been at 100%.

I try to deplete the charge before charging it again and it is a challenge. It is amazing at holding a charge. I bought a solar panel separately and haven’t had a need to charge it with solar but the fact that I have the ability to use solar is very reassuring.

The Bluetti AC-50 is just what the doctor ordered to run our wireless lavaliere mics, powered mini PA speakers and playback devices for remote location weddings ceremonies and smaller events where no power is available.

Even where powers is 50 pluss feet away. this lithium ion battery generator is a total time saver over running long power cables etc. As well, no long cables means less liability and no trip hazards that can come back against our business.

For us. this is a winner and were buying more for our great wedding and event business, Elite Lighting & Sound.

Excellent product. Seems to run/charge everything that I need it to. Only draw back that I can find is that it doesn’t wirelessly charge my phone

Wile living in Florida I realized that I needed a back-up for the generator. Yeah the generator will keep my fridge and freezer working, but it doesn’t really address the need to recharge smart phones and power a small fan if the power goes out.

So originally I did order and purchase a cheaper power supply from a unknown brand. And as soon as I saw this and read about it here on this site. I immediately sent the other brand back and bought this one.

So very impressed. Charges fast and everything worked and no defects. It’s a beauty and a keeper. The display gives a lot more information than what others give. And the outer shell is very sturdy and the handle.

Although I was worried about the handle because of the weight of the power supply (it’s not that heavy). But after looking at it and seeing how the handle is connected I quickly realized that it’s nothing to worry about and that it won’t break while I’m transporting the unit from place to place.

As for questions I had? I was quickly responded to with answers from Ivy (great person). I do wish it had cover plugs for the outlets or a carrying case so I can store it and not worry about it except to recharge it every so often.

I’m very happy with the price and quality of this item and the other stuff I purchased here on this site. Also regarding a quick delivery. I wouldn’t pay the extra $19. 99 cost for a faster service because the shipping/delivery service and Covid has slowed things down.

So just be patient and it will get to you within 5-8 days. Don’t forget to download the warranty and instruction manual for the power supply and solar panel. On a quick note you can put a outlet plug protector in the ac outlets.

That’s what I’m going to do anyway. It’s a cheap and easy solution that will give me peace of mind.

I bought this to be a backup for our CPAPs for power outages. During our testing we found we can easily run one of our CPAPs for four nights or both of them for two full nights before needing to recharge (with charge to spare).

Note* Both of our CPAPs were running on DC (cigarettes’ plugs – a second cigarettes’ adapter is generously included) and with the humidifier and heated hoses turned off. The piece of mind we get knowing we can still get a great nights sleep even when the power is off is a great relief.

When paired with the 100w portable Itehil Solar Panel we were able to get our unit charged back up to almost 100% (when there is full sun and we rotate the panel to follow the sun). The supplied power adapter also charges this up in about 4 to 5 hours.

I will be recommending this unit to friends and family. So much better then the Jackery. Don’t get me wrong, the Jackery is good, but this is just better. I was really impressed that they include all of the needed accessory’s at that price point.

Great buy.

I like that this ITEHIL IT500 has a LiFeP04 battery (should be durable). I bought this unit with a discount coupon so felt it was a good value. We’ve had one power outage since we received this unit.

it works with about a total 200w load (fan, several LED lights) and the outage lasted about 3 hours. The battery was barely drained and the unit was pretty quiet while running. and I noticed something interesting, it turns out that leaving the front panels turned off when there’s nothing plugged into them, it does appear to automatically turn off.

So I asked the seller how long the battery can last without any output. They told me it will last 3-5 years, but for battery life, it needs to be recharged every three months. That’s mean after the first full charge, they stay ready when we need them any time.

It’s a great emergency power station for us.

This provides AC power from an inverter that runs from a lithium battery. It also provides DC power to charge USB devices. I was not quite sure what to expect but it is very nicely designed, looking like a large radio.

My understanding is that 16. 8Ah means that it could output 16. 8 amps for one hour. More realistically, I might use it to power 60W, which is only 0. 4 amp, and that would last (according to the manual) 19 hours.

There is plenty enough power for my needs wrapped up in an attractive package. It is definitely better than buying a separate battery, inverter, and charger, and not much more expensive.

Heavy duty battery, high quality that can be recharged with solar panels (extra, not included) to provide days long power for essentials like a refrigerator and/or freezer and a couple of lamps if you lose power due to a Russian cyber attack on the electric grid or affected by a nuclear strike not directly on you.

I did all the research of competing products available and for something thats portable and relatively affordable this is the best product for you to give much needed peace of mind. It was a Time magazine 100 top invention of last year, so that should give you the confidence.

To charge with sun you will need to do some research and spend an approximate additional $1,000 for solar panels, cords, connectors and stands to produce 800W to 1200W for expedited solar charging. YouTube has videos on how to hook everything up.

Myself I bought HQST 100 watt panels to mount on vertical poles that can be manually rotated throughout the day to follow the sun for maximum charging experience. Don’t let World War III catch you off guard with no power, no lights and rotting food in your refrigerator.

Eating canned food by candlelight is poor way of life. Your neighbors will envy your home with lights and they have none but be careful they may want to visit and take what you have. You will need to make preparations for this too.

A very intelligent sophisticated piece of kit. Very easy to use and set up. You can liken this to a mini Tesla Powerwall but reasonably portable (it weighs 100lbs) as on wheels. It has an LFP type battery which gives it a predicted life of 100% to 80% capacity of 10years but still useable beyond 10 years.

I have 2 of theses – one in kitchen and one in living room. This type of storage really on works well with Solar and economy 7 electric. So far (1 month of having it) all cooking in the kitchen has been free! And in the living room running a small heater in the evening also has been free! Obviously in winter less sunlight so will be charged using the cheaper economy 7 during cheap period! (33p to charge up).

I estimate (for myself) of saving 600-700 a year off our electric bill. Yes expensive kit (7000 for 2) but that 7000 in the bank only yields 85 interest Im effectively getting 600-700 interest! Build quality is exceptional, plastic shell but good quality.

It feels solid when you move it around (has a trolly type handle that pulls out, very strong). You can control it via an app on your phone (gives more options) or just via two buttons on the front. You change the rate of charge (custom) via your phone – the gives just fast or slow options.

But all very easy to navigate. If you like technology and have the money I can recommend it.

This thing is a beast! 3600 watts of output will run most anything in my use case. I bought this on kickstarter and it is awesome. I was planning on setting up my travel trailer with a Victron inverter and several batteries to run my TT but I found this instead.

The added benefit is that now it is portable and I can use this outside of my TT. I will say this thing is heavy. There is a handy handle and wheel setup so it is easy to move around but if you have to pick it up off the ground it is likely gonna take two people.

I have tested this on my TT and a few points to realize is to use propane where you can. The fridge and water heater will drop your ecoflow delta pro as quickly as running the AC. Which brings me to the second point.

don’t expect to run your AC all day with this. You will get 2 hours of constant use with nothing else running. The last point is your TT has a system to recharge your 12 volt battery(ies) through the converter.

You will want to have a plan to overcome this as this will be a large draw on your ecoflow. With those points in mind this system is great. I installed 800 watts of solar on my rig so I can usually recharge what I use during the day unless I run the AC.

The ecoflow is powerful, it is heavy, and it is awesome. Also as a pre-emptive response to those who will point out that fuel generators are so much cheaper I have a gas generator and yes it is cheaper but when I am in state parks at night and you can’t run generators during quiet hours my ecoflow delta pro will be quietly running my entire rig!.

This unit was our saving grace. Our other unit had just stopped working and we were heading to camp in a little over a week. This unit was one of the few that were in stock and would arrive by the day we were leaving.

The shipment actually arrived earlier than expected and worked great at camp. (We needed it for lighting and to power a CPAP machine) We charged the unit once and still had about 20% power remaining after 3 days of usage at camp.

The unit also came with a small pouch the held all the charging cords and manual, which was awesome. The only thing is its a little more bulky and much heavier than our previous unit. However, the charging plate on the top is so convenient, especially when one of our charging cords didn’t work.

The product works as advertised. Using a 100 watt solar panel in direct sunlight, it takes about 4 hours to fully charge it from 60% to 100%. However, not sure if that will be true in the winter? Was able to charge six fully discharged small solar lights and a cell phone in about 6 hours.

After charging the generator still had 80% charge remaining. Tested it on a tankless gas water heater that needs electricity to run. Looks like it can power it incase there is an electricity outage. But will not have enough watts to run the refrig.

I knew that before the purchase.

I live in Puerto Rico where there are many blackouts and every summer we must prepare for hurricane season. I already had to use the wattfun power station multiple times and it has met all of my expectations and then some.

Recharges quickly with wall outlet- waiting to purchase a solar panel as well. Size is fairly small and product seems to be very reliable with enough power for my needs. No complaints so far and I definitely recommend you purchase this product.

On a side note their company customer service is great.

This my second unit now. For my situation it is better to have multiple units than to get the big one. If one happened to fail in an emergency, we still have another. Easier portability is another reason.

No problems with either unit after running tests. The only complaint I have is the manual lacks a lot of info.

The Delta 1300 is an excellent product – either new or refurbished. I love the power station and the solar panels I ordered along with it. Unfortunately it appears EcoFlow had some Firmware issues for products manufactured in a certain timeframe, but Wellbots went above and beyond to ensure I received 100% satisfaction and fully functional devices.

Like the the ability of this product to run refrigerator and freezer. Charges quickly. And the fans are not very loud. This will be great for blackouts or storm pour outages.

Compared to an ebike battery pack it comes out very near the same price. I was not happy with the price of this battery pack until I compared it to an ebike battery pack and did the math. I guess this pack is a good value but there are same priced quiet generators that surpass this items rated output and it will continuously provide power with more fuel.

So do your homework and choose what is more practical for your application.

Instructions state that battery can be charged while using it, but it will affect battery life. Still with solar panels it is a great battery. I purchased it for a scheduled power blackout to keep my refrigerator running.

The battery was at 39% when first opened. The Jackery 1500 was able to run for the two hours I needed before power was restored.

Have had rolling blackouts this summer. Wanted something to cover our refrigerator & basement freezer. Very pleased with unit. Depending on “draw,” will cover both for 2-50 hours. Recharges beautifully using two briefcase Solar panel units.

Like the fact you can use it in the house. Fantastic product for when the electric go’s out in the middle of the night. No more trying too get the gas generator in the middle of the night. Will be buying one more for the camp.

Used it camping on a hunting trip, worked flawlessly. Made coffee in my Keurig machine in the morning, and charged phones and used it to light up the camper lights. Great addition to my camper, especially with no hookups.

I heard about this on Pinball Preparedness when he did a review of the 500, I knew this was just what I needed ! Small, enough out put to run my fans, computer and internet service ! And maybe charge a phone.

It does all that with power to spare !! Every one doesnt need to run a whole house on a generator, or even a freezer or fridge. This one really fits the bill for a lower power need. Ans at a great price.

I would have locked a better manual, but since I saw it on pinball, I just reviewed his video. I do still have a question ,Should I leave it plugged in to the wall after fully charged or should it be un plugged ? It really is a great little generator, perfect for my needs.

It even powered my basic sewing machine !!!.

Great solar generator, super compact, love it. Works great for backup power at my cabin. Will be taking it camping too! Thanks
