Inergy Solar Generator

[sargeek]

I was watching a you tube and the video flashed over this "Solar Generator." The 30 amp RV plug caught my attention. Seems a bit sill to go from 12vdc to 110VAC to use the RV trailer converter to drop it all back down to 12vdc. Also interesting that you can connect this to addiitional 12vdc batteries to get addition run time.

Thoughts? It seems to have EXPO all over it - looks more fun than a Goal Zero?

DIY one that suits your specific needs for a fraction of the price. But these better than most if their detailed specs match your needs and you have money to burn.

Do not call them "solar generators", marketeering deceptive scammer talk.

I would never consider such a **portable powerpak** unit that did not have replacements readily and reasonably available for the internal batteries.

What exact battery chemistry? xPyS layout? watt-hours capacity, at what hour-rate discharge? Rated cycles lifetime if DoD is to the cutoff every time?

Max amps limit for fast charging? What voltage?

What is the built-in solar controller specs for use with generic panels?

What do they recommend you do when the batts need replacing?

Who knows it’s suppose to last ten years. It must have a pretty hearty inverter because they comment on it running a washing machine.

Not a chance.

Warranty period, sure,

And sure it'll "run" some washing machines, but not for long unless a powerful charge source is also running.

Look at the watt-hours, factor in inverter losses, basic math not rocket science.

Maybe this washer
