Could you tell us how to hook up a power station to your home panel? What product did you use to plug into your panel to power your house? Easy to install?
I’m thinking of setting this up as a backup power solution for our home office. We get power outages maybe 3–4 times a year, and they usually last a couple hours. I’d need to run a router, modem, two monitors, a laptop, and a small heater in the winter. Do you think the R2500 could handle that setup without issue? How fast does it kick in if the power goes out?
Anyone tried this setup with a rooftop tent? Wondering how easy it is to move the panels around.
Would love a side-by-side with the EcoFlow Delta 2 Max. Anyone here tried both?
What angle did you set the solar panels at? I’m getting way less wattage than you showed.
That 30A Anderson port is sick—can I use that to run an RV DC system directly?
Thinking of using this during outages—will it run a modem, WiFi router, and a few LED lights all night?
I’ve seen a few reviews that mention charging speed drops significantly depending on the solar angle and weather. Any chance you could do a follow-up video showing real-world solar charging results throughout the day? Would love to see how the 400W panels hold up when the skies aren’t perfectly clear.
This review just sold me. Adding to cart now before my wife finds out.
Can you test it in winter? Need to know if it’ll work for my cabin in Canada.
This might sound like a weird use case, but I’m trying to find a power station that my parents can use during blackouts to keep a CPAP machine running overnight, as well as charge phones and maybe run a small fan. They’re not very tech-savvy, so ease of use is a big deal. Would this unit be simple enough for someone older to operate?
Thinking of mounting the solar panels on the roof of a shed and running the R2500 as a semi-permanent battery bank inside. Do you know if this thing can handle daily solar charging long-term like that, or would it wear out faster compared to more dedicated solar storage setups?
Love this brother. Would you send me one?
That solar briefcase panel is giving Iron Man suitcase vibes.
Is it LiFePO4? How’s the cycle life compared to Bluetti or Jackery?
I’ve been eyeing something like this to power some basic tools while working on a remote property. Nothing crazy—just a circular saw, a couple of drills, and sometimes a shop vac. Do you think the R2500 has enough peak output to handle those without tripping? Also wondering how long the recharge would take using solar between jobs.
I’ve been researching portable power stations for a while and this one looks promising. I’m mainly looking for something that can power our small camper setup for weekend trips—things like a Dometic fridge, a couple of lights, and charging our phones. Would the R2500 be overkill, or is the extra capacity worth it just for peace of mind?
Curious how loud the fan is when it’s charging or under load. Thinking of using it at night while camping.
Looks solid! Can it charge from the panels and power devices at the same time while off-grid?
Do the panels come with extension cables or do I need to buy those separate?
Would this work for a 3-day camping trip running a mini fridge and charging phones?
This might sound dumb but—can you leave the panels outside in the rain or do you need to bring them in?
Anyone mounted the solar panels on top of their rv?
Thanks for showing the ports in detail! A lot of reviews gloss over that, but I need to know exactly what I can hook up. I’m building out a mobile video editing rig in a van, so I’ll be running a MacBook Pro, external SSDs, and a 4K monitor. Might even power some LED lights for filming. Does the pure sine wave inverter handle sensitive electronics like that pretty well?
Bruh no way. 400w yet only puts out 350w input? Thats a joke
If I hook this up to my gas furnace, will it handle the startup surge?
Can it switch over fast enough to be used as a UPS for a desktop PC or server?
How long would the R2500 run a 65” TV and PS5 during a blackout? Just tryna plan ahead lol.
How long to full charge from 0 using just the 400W panel? Need it ready daily for my tools.
Love the breakdown in this video—super helpful. Quick question: how portable is the whole setup when you include the 400W solar panels? I’m imagining bringing this for a long boondocking trip, but curious if the panel setup is manageable solo or if it’s kind of a pain to move around and set up.
How much do the 400W panels really put out on a cloudy day?
Would the solar panels fit like a ford transit?
This looks like overkill for my coffee maker… but I still want it.
This is so good. Love the compact 400W solar panel.
Itll look great with my rv
Love the real life tests. This is perfect for our next camping trip
This would be great with my camera gear. But its kinda heavy tho? 60 lbs?
