Length:: 1:33 MinsThis product is more than you bargained for. I am using it for an off the grid application. I run 750 watt hours of high intensity flourescents and a 300 watt hour kerosene heater. I was using a generator but the noise gets to you. What i didn't realize getting into this is that 12 32 watt fluorescent bulbs can only be run for about an hour + 1/2. So I attached 2 marine deep cycle 100 amp hour battery to the anderson ports on the back and now I can run three hours, But the two solar panels (boulder 30)s are only able to charge the yeti after a good day and you need at least 2 more panels to get both the yeti and the marine batteries charged up. I purchased two other real solar panels (120 watts each) (too bad goal zero doesn't have them)to make charging easier-- but these needed to go into the anderson connectors on the front. So now i can get 360 watts peak input (actually measured 330 yesterday) The tech support at goal zero is good, patient (Jacob kudos to you) and willing to recommend things that they don't sell yet.
Video shows my setup and how things are hooked up.
I did not know much about solar power to begin, but working with this unit has really forced an education upon me. The power plugs available are good. This unit is heavy, heavy. The capacity of the unit output wise (1250 watt continuous)is usable. The charge controller is also robust. If you are already solar savvy then you know that you can do this cheaper by buying your own high quality battery, charger controller and power inverter. If you are techno capable but not solar savvy, have spare cash to buy other parts and willing to learn new things then buying this is a gateway to solar energy. Be warned that once you get the bug you are going to want solar shingles and a south facing roof clear of obstructions.
