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🎉
