I also saw a billboard just a few minutes ago with a solar powered light was still bright in broad daylight. Those lights could handle a decent size house just fine and its 100% solar.
This stuff is amazing tech.
We bought two small solar generators. The thought is that each of us can be in different rooms and power whatever is needed in the way of lighting or small electronics. Its great to have the lamps on, music playing and your phone on charge while the power is out. I've had this happen when getting ready to leave for work and it is very handy. Its also nice to plug in the coffee pot on such occasions.
With the Alpicool fridge/freezer we have backup refrigeration capability almost indefinitely. This is due to solar and using my small inverter generator to quick charge the solar generators.
My camp setup now includes taking one of the solar generators. Its nice to have lights/refrigeration in our Kodiak tent on a weekend campout or at hunting camp. No more dead cell phones, blue tooth speakers, etc.
