Gen20 is not just another device to charge your smartphone while camping. This portable solar generator is a true miniature power and water plant, ready to change the way we deal with emergencies and off-grid living. Forget everything you knew about these things and listen here.
A portable solar generator that makes everything (except ravioli)
Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to meet the Transformer of portable solar generators. With its four solar panels sprouting like the wings of an alien spaceship, Gen20 has the sci-fi face and the practical spirit. Very practical. Basically a Swiss army knife on steroids.
Solar panels with superpowers
Hybrid electric-thermal solar modules use the technology Hjt (heterojunction). They are equipped with 28 cells each, for a total of 540 watts of thermal power.
With a peak power of 540 watts, so to speak, you could simultaneously charge two dozen smartphones while cooking popcorn with a portable microwave oven. I can't imagine such a scene, and then Gen20 has "only" 8 USB ports, but that's it. It was just to give you an order of magnitude.
And then comes the water: from enemy to best friend
There's more, you will have gathered it from the title and headline of this article. Gen20 doesn't just produce energy: it's also a water wizard. A lot of water. This little gem it can filter up to 750 liters of water per hour. It's like having an entire sewage treatment plant in a box. And if you think this is impressive, wait until you hear more desalination module (which, to be honest, is optional). But what is it? Moses?
Another plus, the Gen20 has a water tank 200 liter hot. You can take a hot shower in the middle of the desert or make enough tea (the famous desert tea) to satisfy an entire British delegation.
A small portable solar generator, a heavyweight (literally)
Obviously don't think that all this technology is a feather. The Gen20 weighs between 110 and 204kg, depending on configuration – not exactly something you'd throw in your backpack for a walk in the park. But it's a valuable device. In all senses.
It has already demonstrated this in real emergency situations, such as in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria (it has also been used, to be precise, in Ukraine). In other words: reliable in times of peace and, alas, in times of war.
How much does it cost? Let's move on to the reserve question
Now, I know what you're thinking: “How much does this portable solar generator cost?” Well, the price hasn't been announced yet, but I can imagine it's not exactly cheap. I can understand it: no one spares any expense for a device that could literally save their life in the event of a zombie apocalypse.
This is the undisputed king, the champion, the ace in the hole that you didn't know you wanted, and that now maybe you know you don't want. If not, find it more information here.
