Saw a commercial for solar panels and they will give you a free generator, and I said to myself, how is the generator powered, and I came to the conclusion, that it was powered by lefts most evil energy, oil and natural gas.
From a friend’s experience with a smaller model, I plunged on a Jackery 1000. I have yet to use it.
How long will they power two freezers and a refrigerator and what happens as the batteries age and eventually refuse a charge?

well, you can power something that will take 2000 watts for 1 hour and then you need 14 hours to recharge it with the solar panels.
so you could run your refrigerator for about 4 hours
or maybe just plug it in for 1/2 hour every 4 hours or so
and it costs $2500 but I can buy a nice honda generator for $1000. and $1500 will buy a lot of gas
And portable solar generators can provide renewable energy that won’t harm the environment

Because they already have when they were made when the materials were mined etc. And let’s not look to closely at where they are made and by whom. Please ignore their continual red overcast skies, and the need to wear masks.
And if you panel breaks and the parts and dust fall to the ground, no food can ever be grown it that soil.
Enjoy!
Solar generator is just a batter with a sine wave invertor and a panel that can charge the battery over time.
Just get a gas generator. If the SHTF and gas/diesel aren’t available, you’re screwed and gonna die anyway. Just accept it.
It's small enough that I would not plug something like a fridge or AC into it. But it's good enough for small appliances, etc.
There is nothing wrong withe these packaged systems. But they can be costly, but they are all-in-one integrated which is best fir many people.
Dont skimp on the panels. You’ll need a decent number of them.
I prefer to “roll my own”
300AH LiFepo4 battery, 150v 50A MPPT charger, and 8 100watt panels, 2400w sinewave inverter w/4800w peak.
This lets me operate 2 series strings of 4 panels.
With this I can operate a garage fridge + stand alone freezer indefinitely.
I could operate a 5000btu AC unit at peak sun without discharging the battery.
I can operate any power tool Ive got intermittently plus lights.
Its probably between $2k and $2.5k for this.
Also, as needed you can charge the battery w genset - but you only need a small honda.
If you want to get fancy, you can wire up a transformer to create 240V split phase, so i can use this to power my house overnight (without large loads) and not have to run a genset all night.
Still waiting for that ECAT cold fusion generator that is just around the corner.
