Greetings, I purchased this model as a starting point with you. I'm using it for my home and not for camping. Being new to the arena I'm quickly learning just how much I really need. Emergency mode only but want the solar footprint to sustain during power outages. Will be looking foreword to the expansion battery when it is available. So far I'm happy I found you, quality product.

I was putting up the solar panel and it made a noise like crack. I checked an mother broke but it might be a problem later.

This thing is sweet. Form and function all in one. The built-in torches and stand are a game changer to help light up any camp area, tent or camper. The Solix was able to power my pop-up camper for 5 hours and charged fairly fast with the solar panel. Would recommend.
