    I recently decided I wanted solar, not gas.
    I live in South Ga USA, so it's HOT!
    I bought a portable AC that's 8000 btu. I hope to a power that for sure.
    A huge concern for me is portability.
    I prefer one with a handle and wheels.
    Otherwise, I won't get optimal use from it. Of course I'll get the best I can. I have around $2500

    I have 2 Bluetti AC50S and 1 EB70S solar generators.
    I let one of the AC50S deplete the battery below the 10.3 level and it would not charge up.
    I contacted Bluetti and they walked me through a reset procedure.
    In order to do this I had to disassemble the solar generator.
    The fix didn't wake it up.
    They sent me a new unit and a paid shipping label to return the non working unit

    lots of good info. I did a ton of research before i bought a jackery1000 two years ago and after using it camping and on hunting trips with my camper i discovered three things are important to me.....1. How much the inverter can handle, turns out i want it to mimic a house circuit of about 1800w so it can run usual counter appliances while camping. 2. Can i recharge a depleted unit in a day say 5 full solar hours so a 2kwh battery needs to accept at least 400w. And 3. how heavy is it so that i can move it without risking injury. Personally i dont like the apps and have noticed at a well attended camping area that there are multiple signals which i feel ups the risk of some tech savy nurd messing with my system. For me the Bluetti 180 is a good fit and so far love it.

      A cheap oil drum full of sand and a heating element and an insulated jacket is a fantastic way of avoiding curtailment AND having efficient heat without having to convert it back into electric.
      Humans can always make heat from electric at 100% efficiency, but making electricity from heat is more like 20-30%.
      couple hours of sun blasted into an oil drum during the day gives a really warm comfortable evening with no lithium.

It's a smart way to store heat from the sun during the day and release it slowly in the evening, keeping things cozy without electricity. The insulated jacket is a nice touch to keep that heat from escaping too quickly. Maybe adding a solar air heater could boost the warmth even more. Love the creativity in using simple materials effectively!

    Just looked at the price of the solar blankets from off grid trek, Come at a much higher price point you say? hahahahahaha, they cost, in some cases more than the generators. One 300W solar blanket is £1736 in the UK, a Bluetti AC240 is £1600, that's £3336. I was looking to buy something as a back up at my house for when the power goes out, so i can boil a kettle for a brew, however, i just can't justify spending that amount of money on something i may not need. In 63 years the power has only went out once. I will have to make do with my gas bottles that i have had for over 15 years and never used with my twin gas hob.
    I have prepped for the possible on coming disaster, but to be fair if it's going to be as bad as "they" make out, i'm not sure i want to be around for all that struggle. I think i'd rather spend that money on a motorcycle adventure and enjoy it now.

    This is the stuff I can only dream about, in Australia the Bluetti Ac 200L costs $2800 and the Ecoflow delta 2 max is $3000, and on a disability pension that’s unobtainable.

    Kris thank you for making this extensive video..I know it took alot of time and effort to put together..Just letting you know it's appreciated and as far as I'm concerned it's hands down one of the best you tube videos on solar generators that has ever been done and I will be sharing with many friends that are interested in these power sources. Thanks again!!

    I bought a Grecell 1000 with a 100W solar panel for about $ 650.00 on Amazon. I imagine prices have gone up some, but the units in the test are extremely expensive but maybe with higher capacities and solar input wattage. My Grecell does everthing I need in an power outage for emergency lights, fans and powerbank/cellphone charging for many days.

    Thank you, I used this video to finalize my selection for a set up that we could use for short term power loss at home, and also be able to be taken on the road in our camper. I selected the EcoFlow Delta 2 Max with 220W solar panels and the Wave 2 portable AC in a recent 40% bundle sale on the EcoFlow website. I can take my time expending for longer power outages knowing I can add two extra batteries and an extra 220W panel set.

  • @James-ke5sx
    @James-ke5sx Před 10 dny +7

    That was a great review. But the problem is you say it should be stored at 50%, which doesn't make sense to me. I bought the AC 200 Max with two batteries as an emergency power source. But if they are stored at 50% and the lights go out suddenly, then you only have a 50% charge. So what's the use of spending all this money and get 50% of what you paid for.

    • @g_dub
      @g_dub Před 6 dny

      It's a delicate balance to maximize the life of the batteries. You can keep it full just could cause a little more degradation. Or you could keep it full and works just fine, they are weird that way. Its one of the flaws with batteries in general
