Solar Generator

Do you have a Solar generator, with solar panels?
What brand
How do you like it
What was the cost.

Thanks

I have a Jackery 1000 – I paid about $400 for it.  And I also have a couple Bluetti, a 500 and a 1500, they are older and I paid way too much for them.  Don’t remember how much but the price of these has gone down a lot.

I don’t use the solar panels, it’s just much easier to charge them from the vehicle or from AC power.

I have an Anker that i use every weekend and love it.   I have 200w panels that charges it if needed.   I use mine to run three strands of patio style lights, a diesel heater and small stuff needing charging.   
I’d really like to buy another soon, once I get the off grid shower setup.

My panels are a suitcase style 200w from renogy.  I bought them years ago to charge my camper 6volts.   I just unplug the camper and plug the panels into the Anker when they it needs charging.   

Most of the time, I will charge the Anker up at the house before the weekend and it’ll last all weekend without needing a solar charge though.

What is your intended purpose?  The all-in-one "solar generators" are very convenient if you are moving them a lot, but you can get much more capacity for cheaper by putting together the components (batteries, inverter, solar charger) yourself.

Just thinking on hunting camp or stuff around the house.? Maybe a short power outage
