Solar powered battery option. Seems like a very well received product.
I'd almost certainly want this as a bug out (car) item

I have watched several videos on them. I have thought about picking one up for my CPAP machine, but with my other generator options, I'm not sure that it would be money well spent.
When we need generator at the farm, these aren't powerful enough. The option to have it charged via solar panels is nice and maybe if I lived in an area where power outages were more common, I might be tempted to add it to the supplies. Yet, for now, having two generators I think meets our needs.

I can't see it worth the price unless you need a fully mobile system...
the 1000 model is $1K and the the matching solar panel is $300
A basic solar panel kit with batteries is under $500 add in options you may want and maybe another 500 for inverter , etc
