We went camping with the Boy Scouts this past weekend. One of the dads had this set up. Was pretty neat, although I didn't realize it was this pricey. I took some pictures, and if I can get off my lazy ass, I'll upload them.

I think so. He had 8 panels on two tripods (4 each). He said it would power up to a 1000w microwave. He may not have had the exact set-up I linked, but pretty close. My one complaint is that you need to adjust the panels as the sun moves. Pretty interesting though, and great for camping, where generators are prohibited a lot of the time.

we are going to rebuild our solar generator this summer for more power and mobility, will be interesting to see how close I can get to those specs

The generator/battery portion was a pretty sweet set up. It measured wattage in, wattage out and % of capacity left.

poking around some, you can get the core for that for 1300
and get two 100 watt panels for under 300 bucks
looking at goal zeros site, I don't even see that kit listed
http://www.goalzero......heavy-duty
it appears the seller is just throwing the kit together, you could probably buy the components cheaper yourself directly from goal zero
