Saw the Wagen Tech Solar E for $699.
About the same size of a medium Gen.
Very heavy.
On wheels, and had 5 each 16 Watt solar panels that unfold.
Has built in battery and inverter.
Kinda a neat gizmo.... just wondering what you all think?

Kinda heavy, kinda expensive, kinda ridiculous. Makes my $150 investment (75W panel, Morningstar controller, wire and connector) look pretty good!

Boy, you bet. 1200 watts out of a 135w panel? You must measure the "on" time with a very quick stopwatch. Anyone considering this stuff needs to do a LOT of reading on the internet solar sites.

80 watts (0.7 amps) for $700?
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

More affordable than some of the other options also on the market.
