Welcome back to the channel ya kookz!
Today we are comparing the cost difference between a DIY solar setup and a portable power generator. Today there are many options for building a DIY 12-volt solar setup and many options for portable power stations. Portable power stations have come a long way and are now finally, in my mind, a viable option for your van conversion. Today we are reviewing the cost between a similar DIY 12 Volt Solar Power Station and a Portable Power Station.
I just wanted to make this video after I received the Anker 767 power station and was so impressed with its ability to charge fast, 2.4 hours via 1000W solar and 1.4 hours via 1440W AC power. In the past, these units took so long to charge they weren't a reliable option, in my opinion, but now with the ability to have up to 1000W solar input, these are now a contender for an easy, straightforward van conversion setup.
