A belated Happy Birthday to ya!
I hate websites like this solar generator site. Very heavy on the hype, very light on details.
Although this appears to be a real product, it is most definitely not a break through. This is an 1800 watt inverter with a small battery inside.
This type of integrated product has been around for over 15 years and the components to do it yourself for over 25 years.
They tell you that it will take the place of a gas generator but with that tiny internal battery and very small solar panel, the best you will get from it is some lighting, charging cell phones and small cordless tools..running a small TV and/ or radio, etc. And that's fine as long as you have a realistic expectation of it's performance.
Unfortunately, even after digging through all that hype, I couldn't find the meat and potatoes (data) I was looking for.
Here's where to go to look at a similar product where they actually give you expected run times of various electrical devices.
Xantrex 1800 Power Hub
If you want something like this then I highly recommend calling these folks and talking to their customer reps. They are very knowledgeable and I deal with them all the time.
Sorry for the long rant....I just have an issue with this type of marketing.
Stay warm!!
