How does this compare to the 45watt kit currently on sale from Harbor Freight for $139? http://www.harborfreight.com/45-watt-solar-panel-kit-68751-8527.html Hint:The Harbor Freight mailer has a coupon for this kit at $161 off of retail.
Hmm…it seems that this briefcase solar panel at 13 watts is more comparible and yet cheaper. http://www.harborfreight.com/13-watt-briefcase-solar-charger-68750.html
Kind of a moot point now, since they are sold out, but with HF, you should expect any use beyond one as living beyond it’s planned lifespan. Goal zero has a pretty good reputation, and if I needed this, I would find the money difference small compared to the reliability difference I would expect to get.
In other words, sometimes, you do get what you pay for…
came in today and surprise! the inverter and AC adapters were in the kit… thanks Woot! & Goal Zero
