Robust and Effective for minimalist Van-Living
on March 27, 2019
Posted by: kiki
I picked up my Solar Home in denver after a few months of van life and a lightbulb literally came on. I love the system, but have yet to mount it on my roof because i like the flexibility of moving the panel depending on where i'm camped/parked.
Having driven away with the panel still unsecured on my roof more times than i'd like to admit.... it has taken a beating with no complaints and is very easy to rewire after the wires tear out on the highway!

I use this to charge my tablet/phone so i don't drain down my primary battery, and i love that i can turn on the radio to get local news without wifi from the comfort of my bed.
The lights are plenty bright enough to find things you've dropped at night and i love the dim setting so i don't attract unwanted attention when in an urban setting.
WHAT I REALLY WANT THOUGH..... is a slim flexible panel set that i can securely tape to the roof without adding hardware or a noticeable profile. Please consider a SLIM PANEL UPGRADE.
otherwise. Love this for my little vanlife especially when i'm camping in towns/cities.

Seems like this will work well when the power is out. I'm disapointed that my questions were not answered.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A great all-in-one solution. I am using this for my garden shed and it has worked flawlessly. Plenty of light inside for working. I found the motion sensor to be a bit sensitive for the outside light, wind and leaves seemed to set it off, but other than that it has been great.

Perfect for off-grid living! I have one light in our bathroom above the small sink, and one light each above the beds for reading. I love that each light has its own switch and three levels of brightness.
Super easy to keep charged with the small solar panel.

Three overhead lights (4 led each, 3 levels brightness, one lamp can be set to motion activated, any lamp can tie another lamp for sequential stringing from one plug if needed); base unit is rechared by solar panel (arrived 32% and solar charged in rainy weekend with full overcast to 100% in 3-1/2 days) but looks to be faster in good sunlight; and has clock-calander and mp3 and fm radio built in. There is a external power connector but no information regarding external battery extension; connector looks like a ps2 or some other orientated round socket with several pins). I think external power is not charged by the solar setup so its source only if even. I noticed that with charge at 100% that turning on all three lamps to max seem to dim operating lamps overall so don't know if the power cable is not supporting the ampere draw of all three lamps at once or there is a power drop off caused by the all the lamps. Planning to up up a vacation "shed" for long weekends and this is more than enough light and music. Doubt there will be any fm reception though. And mini sd instead of regular sd - why? Hope the very small speaker is good for mid-range and treble; doubt it will have any bass. No audio connector as well so strictly just for some "sound" while cleaning fish I suppose.

Absolutely love this product! Stores big enough for the power I need in all the areas I have through my Skoolie..(including the motion sensor light being perfect for the outside entrance).. yet with simple, easy and non cumbersome hook up and set up.. with more than enough extension cords to run everything! Bonus- no big bulky storage system!
