Creating a small off-grid space on your property can be done at an affordable cost with the right solar energy system in place. Smaller DIY projects, like installing solar on your shed or cabin, can be done with the right solar panel kit. My article goes over the best solar panel starter kit specifically for small spaces (sheds, garages, etc.).

When your power goes out, do you have a backup power source to keep your essential appliances running? One of the most important appliances at home is your fridge, and a solar generator that's sized in proportion to your fridge's power consumption can keep your food from spoiling in an extended power outage.
In my article, I list four different fridges and give their estimated running times with three different solar generator configurations.With the right setup, you can rest assured that your fridge will keep on running until grid power is turned back on.

Goal Zero created one of the largest off-grid solar generator systems for people like you and me. It's called the Yeti 6000X and it can integrate with your smartphone via WiFi. With the Yeti 6000X, you can run essential appliances off the grid via its 10 output ports.

The Bluetti EP500 & EP500Pro are two VERY powerful and long-lasting solar generators that are setting the standard for high-powered battery backup systems. At 5,120Wh, the EP500's LiFePO4 battery is second (in size) only to the Yeti 6000X from Goal Zero.

Not too many solar generator companies currently include wireless charging in their products, but in the video, I list a few different models that do have this feature.

The Bluetti EP500 & EP500Pro are coming soon to the market and they have a TON of power. These solar generators make an excellent backup solution for when the power goes out at home or the office. With a massive 5,120Wh battery and over 6,000 charge cycles, this battery will last for years and even possibly decades. Check out my thorough review in the article above!

In this video, I go into the specific attributes of the Sherpa 100AC power bank. The Sherpa 100AC is a powerful tool for on-the-go use. It has a 94-95Wh battery and is capable of up to 50W of input from solar panels. The system has 2x USB-C PD ports capable of 60W in/out, 2x USB-A ports, a Qi wireless charging pad capable of 5W output, and a single AC port with a 100W max output. I believe that the Sherpa 100AC has the highest solar input rating over all other power banks of similar size. This is very important to know because you can charge it much faster off the grid than with other solar chargers or power banks.

LiFePO4 or Lithium-ion Batteries? Lithium-ion and LiFePO4 batteries are different in many ways. In this short one-minute clip, I show you the advantages, disadvantages, and more. LiFePO4 batteries are becoming more available on the market and for good reason - they have several benefits. However, Lithium-ion batteries still have their place as these batteries have a key trait that I'll reveal in the video!

The Sherpa 100AC has its name due to its nearly 100Wh of battery capacity as well as its single AC port, which is capable of running at up to 100W (150W surge). This #powerbank is on the larger end of the spectrum counting both its battery capacity and dimensions. It is easily portable and can fit into most bags/backpacks. This is a big advantage of a power bank when compared to a solar generator. My previous battery backup system was a Yeti 200X, which was also from #goalzero. It had a larger battery, but it was also in a cube-shape and was not easily able to fit into my backpack. The Sherpa 100AC is unique to other power banks for a few reasons. First off, it has an OLED display screen that informs you of all the power and current coming into and out of the system. It also features an AC port, which is not common amongst the majority of power banks. Lastly, it has a Qi wireless charging pad, which is relatively new to the world of charging.

This is the Sherpa 100AC from Goal Zero. It's a power bank that has solar charging capability as well as a multitude of ports to charge devices. In this video, I discuss the OLED display that's on the side of the 100AC. It has several features that allow you to know the exact numbers of every device your charging as well as how much power is coming into the power bank when charging it up.

It’s no surprise that #GoalZero produces products with similar model names. One significant example of that can be seen in the Goal Zero Yeti X series. Interestingly, they have also brought this to the production of #solarpanels. Undoubtedly, the similarity never implies they are duplicates. Hence, we will differentiate between two of their similar solar panels; the Nomad 7 and the Nomad 7 Plus.

Space heaters need a LOT of power. Even the small ones will usually need at least 500W to power up. Due to this, running them #offgrid will require a medium-large battery. Solar generators have a battery as well as an inverter to allow you to power space heaters. However, you'll need the right generator in order for the heater to work and work for a long period of time. In the video, I give some solar generator recommendations for both small and large space heaters.

Having a portable power station (aka solar generator) that charges fast is important because it allows you to use your system more often, especially when you need it. During a #poweroutage or an #offgrid scenario, the LAST thing you want is the need to wait hours on end for your solar generator to recharge. In this video, I've compiled three large solar generators that are the fastest charging systems that I know of. Some common features that these systems share include: - MPPT charge controllers (sometimes more than one) - High-powered AC chargers - 2,000Wh or more of battery capacity Check out more in my YouTube video linked here.

Recently, different companies producing solar generators have come up with impressive technologies for fast charging. However, it’s sometimes difficult to know which of these solar generators is the best to purchase. Solar generators come with a PWM or MPPT charge controller, which plays the role of assisting the charging of the battery from the generator’s various charging sources. This article goes through five of the fastest charging solar generators based on #solarpanel charging, AC charging, and car charging. Check out the article below for an in-depth look at each system.
