SS, build your own, you can do it for a fraction of the cost, pecker has posted that he had one on order last year and I compiled a list of what he needed to just build his own and it was under 600 dollars if I remember correct. Here is the website for the generator, they list a 90 watt high efficiency panel but don't give the brand.The panel is the most expensive thing in that package

here's a 100 watt panel for 245 dollars

I should do this myself. Our weather is similar to Khun's most of the year

i have had a duracell all in one that i brought with me over here years ago.

i couldn't bring the panel with me so i bought a cheap chinese 30w locally and basically just use this on my property up north for the infrequent visits as it is completely off the grid. right now it is only running a water pump so that we can have showers and flush a toilet. i did end up having to buy something to regulate the charge as i just leave it there with the panel exposed 24/7.

in the future i'm planning on expanding the panel size significantly and will have a collection of batteries so that i can have a tv there to stream from my laptop, and also to charge the phones but also run an oscillating fan or three.

i'm very close to the equator. we spend most of our days hiding from the sun rather than seeking it out.
