MySolarBackup Solar Generator Might Be Quiet, But Quite Low on Power

One of the things on my priority purchase list is a gas power generator because as some people think about power outages when hearing about generator, I think of generators when I hear about power outages. I really, really hate sitting in the dark, and definitely not because I'm afraid of it, but because I'm forcedly prohibited to do the things I like most, namely watching live concerts, listening to music and keeping up to date with this and that - but guess what? I need power for my speakers, and definitely for the turntable and mixer.

Getting back to the generator part, I will probably buy one, one day, but maybe will change my mind on the type of it. Up until now, I wasn't too trusty with solar generators, as in the power supplied not to be enough for one's daily needs. Even though a gas generator, I think, would suit me best, as it can relief me day and night, without any drawbacks that I can think of, as it would have its own place, sound tight and ventilated, this newly introduced solar generator from MySolarBackUp seems quite impressive.

Sure, it does not emit any noise whatsoever, produces no fumes, and generates 1,800 watts of electricity, at peak point, and that for free, without needing any maintenance or fuel, but still doesn't seem, yet, an alternative to me.

The power output is something like what the smallest of gas generators produce, and really now, I prefer getting my hands greasy and all that instead of plugging just select appliances at home when the power goes down. Especially thinking that a solar generator will probably fade its batteries away in time, as you have to continuously charge it to always have it ready.

But don't let me discredit the Solar Generator, as this is probably the perfect companion for road trips, and camping, for the times when you want to keep it all quiet. Best of all, I see this a perfect gift for someone that does not have access to electricity, nor fuel, who lives atop of a mountain or something like that, and for the price of $2,097.00, it doesn't necessarily seem much for the applications I have mentioned. As for regular households, for that money, you can get a gas generator to power the whole neighborhood or at least the neighbors on your floor.
