Portable solar panel/generator

[North American Sojourner]

One thing we all need is power when we are out in the middle of nowhere. I have used a large jump for a while now and I haven’t had any problems on “shorter” trips, but charging that takes so long and has to be plugged into the wall.

I’m saying that I am looking for suggestions on a solar setup.
- it can’t be fixed in place
- must easily pack away
- and hopefully can’t break the bank

I have looked at GoalZero and Jackery but I would love suggestions!

Any help??

I bought my solar kit directly from the source and fab'd up a charging station. (I'm a photographer, videographer, fly drones and other silly crap) At one time I was charging 9 items. I had 8 ports. LOL. It's a lot of fun to build things, and see them in action. If you need some help, let me know. We're here to teach, and provide advice.

Thanks. It was fun, and I'm getting ready to do it again. Toyota sold, have the F250 now. Shell is for sale, $1000 or scrap, which ever comes first. LOL

When it came to power for me I just spent some money upfront and went with a bluetti eb150 solar generator, it last forever and worked great across my trip through Colorado and Utah offroading, I used a victron dc to dc charger wired into the truck to charge while I drive and offroad.

I use a Bluetti 1500 and it does just about anything you want.
