I was not expecting such a cheap solar generator setup to be able to power so much!

🛒 PRODUCTS in this video
• EcoFlow River 2 WITH solar adapter cable - https://amzn.to/3Yd5WJk
• EcoFlow River 3* - https://amzn.to/4dKzqDZ
• EcoFlow solar adapter cable - https://amzn.to/4h7zTTu (you'll need an adapter cable like this if your power station doesn't come with one)
• 100 Watt Eco-Worthy Solar Panel - https://amzn.to/4886kx9

*This is the newer model which wasn't featured in the video but came out about 5 days after I bought the River 2. It has very similar specs to the River 2 and is worth a close look. As of this writing, it's available for a similar price to what I got in the video. If you get this one, you'll have to buy a solar adapter cable separately, though.

Let’s find out what you can run with a dirt-cheap solar generator setup! By "solar generator setup", I mean 3 things: 1) portable power station, 2) compatible solar panel, and 3) solar adapter cable. (The solar adapter cable is what allows us to connect the solar panel to the power station.)

Based on the Amazon price history charts I showed in the video, here's my advice on getting a good price: if the price of the power station you're considering is quite high when you're shopping, don't buy yet. Check in on the price every week or two for the next couple months. Based on historical trends, you'll likely see a price drop during that time and can snag it for a good deal.

Note: The EcoFlow River 3 came out like 5 days after I bought the River 2 🤦‍♂️. It was probably announced before I bought the River 2, but I didn’t see the announcement. You might think that’s why I was able to find the River 2 for so cheap, but it turns out the River 3 is (as of this writing) on sale for a similar price to what I got in the video. (There are also variants called the River Max and River Pro which are more expensive and not what I tested in this video.)
