Whether you’re off the grid camping or the grid is down during a storm, GOAL ZERO’s latest line of solar panels and portable power stations help to keep the lights on and your devices charged, by harnessing the power of the sun.
The Boulder and Nomad series of solar panels provide a wide range of sizes and outputs to satisfy most needs. All the solar panels are compatible with GOAL ZERO batteries and power stations, and can be daisy-chained to increase power, using optional cables. To withstand the rigors of outdoor life, the panels are water resistant if dew builds up or a shower catches you off guard.
Choose from the 100-Watt Boulder 100, or Boulder 100 Briefcase that neatly folds in half (and looks like a briefcase) to protect the panels and add portability, or the 50-Watt Boulder 50. All the panels in the Boulder series are water resistant and made with a sturdy aluminum frame with integrated kickstands to make catching the sun at the correct angle easier, and the panels are protected with scratch-resistant tempered glass.
For portability, the Nomad series features smaller form factors, but with lower outputs. With options of 7W, 14W, and 28W, the Nomads are foldable to pack easy and, like the Boulders, have integrated kickstands. Designed with smaller electronics in mind, the Nomads have USB ports to charge devices directly, like smartphones, GPS units, or cameras.
To store power for a rainy day or nighttime use, Goal Zero offers several options, starting with the lightweight and portable Venture 70. This 17,700mAh Li-ion battery pack has a high-output 2.4A USB port to charge larger devices like tablets, and two standard 1A USB ports. It can be charged from 110VAC house power, 12VDC car/vehicle power ports, or most GOAL ZERO solar panels. Designed for heavy outdoor use, it carries an IP67-rating that makes it dustproof and waterproof (and even submersible for brief periods).
Taking a big step up to power campsites and handle multiple user’s requirements, are the Yetis. Chainable for more power, they both have real-time power input and output indicators and surge protection for the unit and your devices. The Yeti 400 has a 428Wh deep-cycle battery that sends power to two standard 3-prong 110VAC outlets, four USB ports, one 6mm 12VDC port, and one 12VDC car/vehicle port. The Yeti 400 recharges on AC power in 7 hours, and in 16 hours on the Boulder 50 solar panel. Representing one of the largest-capacity power stations in their lineup, the Yeti 1400 is equipped with a large 1425Wh battery with the same outputs as the Yeti 400. The larger battery takes a little longer to charge than the smaller Yeti, taking about 25 hours from AC house power or 16 hours from two Boulder 100 solar panels.
