Refrigerator’s cut on and off as needed to keep things cool. Since there was no power being drawn at the time, the 3.5 days was not accurate at all.

I’m no expert, but those solar panels 28 seconds into the video are not going to generate a lot of electricity. At least give them a clean 🤷🏻♂️

The term “solar generator” is extremely misleading. Just call it what it is – a portable battery power source. Just like saying gasoline or propane powered generator which can run for HOURS at rated max output. Portable batteries cannot do the same.

INSANE! Big institutional money is vacuuming up the SPAX30T supply, they definitely know something retail doesn’t…

Some guys buy SOL, others buy ADA. I’m just stacking SPAX30T with the complete confidence that SpaceX is about to shift the entire market🎉

All of the solar generators that are currently on the market are a waste of money for several reasons. Number one, they all use cheap, high frequency, transformerless inverter technology that can damage your home’s appliances when the MOSFETs in their H-Bridge circuit fail. The use of transformerless inverter tech also offers a much shorter life expectancy than more reliable, higher performance low frequency transformer based inverters. The second reason they’re a bad investment is that they all lack a sufficient amount of battery capacity and typically use non name brand cells, BMSs and charge controllets that tend to fail early during the product’s expected life cycle. Third, they all offer poor surge capacities that make it difficult, if not impossible to start high inductance loads like power tools, microwaves and motorized loads.

Is having one of these devices risky at all? Is there a possibility of lithium battery fire erupting from one of these devices?
@concinnus
May 7, 2026 at 11:16 am
If you’re concerned abt fire, you could always go with an LFP/LiFePO4 station, as LFP is practically immune to self-immolation. Should be cheaper, too; only downside is ~30% less capacity.

Using the AC plug for a MacBook is dumb because you loose a lot of power during the conversion
