Specs total weight is only 25LBS and folds up nicely into a suitcase like package. Set up is easy and getting power even quicker. Real time to get power going (battery was already somewhat powered up) was less that 4 minutes the battery will charge from completely dead to full power in around 5hrs (sunny day) and 9ish hours on a cloudy day. USB sockets, 12V DC socket, AC universal socket and a standard DC input for wall charging all come standard out of the box. The coolest feature is the "Sun Tracking". Once its up and working you never have to reposition the solar panels to get maximum charge, the device will track the sun for you. Super sweet.
The use case scenario for this product is pretty unlimited but here is how I see my self using it -
Emergency lately storms in the US seem to be more and more devastating, with most of the problems coming after the storm not during. If your area has no power for days let alone weeks how are you supposed to keep food protected or communicate to the outside world. This is a must have in your emergency kit.
Outdoor/Cabin
Living in the west provides me with all kinds of outdoor opportunities, knowing that I can take power with me any were means I can do pretty much anything anywhere put it in my cabin for primary or back up power. What this really means is that I can work from anywhere the ski cabin, the fishing cabin or the "I just don't want to be in the office" cabin .
The price while not cheap is definitely affordable especially if you consider what it will do for you.Aspect Solar's sun-tracking SunSocket(tm) solar generator is portable yet without the 65 plus lbs. of weight to carry around (like they usually have)! it is 25 pounds and whether you are taking camping, to another country, whatever the case might be it is easy to cart around with its light-weight briefcase style.
It also has USB ports that work even when you have folded up your solar panels for the night so you can keep charging your phone, iPad, etc.
It should also be noted that the solar panels stay connected to the briefcase itself keeping set up/take down super easy (there is even an automatic button).
Plus, with the sun-tracking device you are getting a full charge all day without having to take time to adjust on your own.
A fantastic product!!
