Goal Zero Yeti 1500x

 Goal Zero is a well-known brand in the solar generator world for good reasons. All of their power stations are U.S.-made, then tested in rugged environments worldwide, including in the Arctic. So, if you want a solar-powered generator that’s dependable in any emergency, the Yeti 1500x is it.

With a 2000w A.C. inverter, there’s no limit to what you can power using this battery. If you can plug it into the wall of your home, you can run it with the Yeti. That includes fridges, medical devices, and, of course, your computer and phone. 

It provides 1500 Wh, which should be enough for most situations, and recharging is fast. Four hours of solar recharging using 400w panels should do the trick. 

The Yeti 1500x works with several different Goal Zero solar panels, depending on how often you want the battery to recharge. With the right solar panel set-up, plenty of sunshine, and this battery, you could take most of your power needs off-grid. Or, you can opt for portable panels and use this solely as an emergency option.

All of that said, with Goal Zero products, you are paying a premium for the brand name. And their connection capabilities are lacking. With a generator this pricey, it’d be nice to have it readily linked to a second and third battery so that you could increase capacity. 

Also lacking are the outlets. There are only two A.C. outlets and three USBs, which is far less than other generators at this price point.
